12. Size/Type of Investment
•
Our preferred size of investment is around US$1 - 5 million.
•
Where we invest:
Early/growth stage companies: we supply them with expansion capital.
Seed stage companies: not our priority, however, will still consider if
product/service offered by the company is well accepted by certain customer
segments, at least, and start generating solid revenue; imminent profitability
is not a prerequisite.
12
13. Our “NOT TO DO”
We have a clear NOT TO DO list:
•
We do not invest in infrastructure, real estate, buildings.
– Too capital intensive, too long time-span
•
We do not invest in privatization opportunities.
– Too political & too many hidden risks
•
We do not invest in biotech.
– Sumitomo has a Bio/Biotech Fund managed by the 3 Sumitomo bio business units
where biotech experts will be handling bio related opportunities.
•
SCEA does not invest in pure concept. Specifically those seed/early stage companies whose
products/services are still very conceptual, in most cases.
•
We do not invest in fund.
