It is all about finding the entrepreneurs who we believe in. Entrepreneurs who have the wherewithal, the enthusiasm, the passion, the expertise, and the network to take early-stage ideas down the path of success.

It is the combination of all of those things, with the right attitude. And for us attitude is crucial.
