Overview

PPI Ventures (PPIV) assists inventors, entrepreneurs, and early-stage companies in commercializing technology.

Typically, PPIV becomes deeply involved in every aspect of the commercialization venture – performing market studies, developing strategy, participating in business development and even taking active managerial roles in the enterprise. We seek to guide the venture through at least a Series A round of financing or to a liquidity event via licensing or acquisition.

In certain cases, however, PPIV will simply provide passive early-stage capital to promising startup companies.

Criteria

Due to the depth of involvement in our typical venture, PPIV undertakes only two to three ventures per year. We seek projects that we believe can return 10 times our investment in three to five years and, due to the economics of early-stage investing, this often means we must own a majority of a venture in which we are involved.
