The Fund seeks to offer investors a diversified exposure of a minimum of ten investee companies each of which is engaged in solving industry problems with the use of a digital solution. It is envisaged that each subscription will be deployed across each investee company on a diversified basis, at the discretion of Nova Growth Capital Limited and Sapphire Capital Partners LLP.
Nova seeks to leverage appropriate technology to source and mentor potential founders. This gives Nova the capability to perform real “in person” due diligence on our entrepreneurs before it co-invests, it allows Nova to understand and model the performance funnel and gives Nova control of deal flow. Nova typically sees over 25 opportunities per investment that are made.
