About Genovation
Genovation was created with a vision to fill a void in the market…we saw the need to launch a venture capital firm that truly focused on building innovative companies through a teamwork approach. We call it collaborative investing. An approach where our partnership works together to launch category leading ideas supported by the best and brightest talent in the industry yielding the highest returns for our investors.
Genovation invests in innovators that are addressing significant opportunities. Ideas that will change the way that we communicate, collaborate and entertain ourselves. Genovation's investment team and its extended network of industry leaders bring a unique blend of industry experience that provides the foundation to yield real franchise technology companies.
How Genovation Invests
We focus on the CMI space...Communications, Media and Internet. Within these sectors we invest in hardware, software and services. Genovation will be the initial lead investor in companies that create new markets or ground breaking innovation in existing markets. Our collective experience allows us to bring real world experience to early-stage investing.
We consider ourselves partners with our portfolio company entrepreneurs and
managers. Our collaborative approach ensures that entrepreneurs will have access to our combined resources, expansive personal networks and collective strategic advice.
Finding the best ideas while maintaining capital efficiency is the hallmark of Genovation's investment philosophy. The firm seeds promising new ideas with investments up to $1 million. Start ups that are nearing product launch are typically backed with investments ranging from $5 to $15 million over the life of the company.
Liquidity – Optimizing Returns
The issue and process of liquidity must be an active component throughout the life cycle of an investment. Evaluation of the liquidity opportunity begins with the diligence phase and is an active component of portfolio management. Our experience has proven that exit opportunities are best achieved through active guidance and positioning by management and directors.
