The Investment Consultant will present to the Investment Manager opportunities to invest in start–up and early stage businesses that exhibit these characteristics.

In addition to raising capital through the Fund, the Investment Consultant intends to offer a number of support services to Investee Companies. These include board representation, mentoring, and assistance in forming strategic, commercial or academic partnerships.
