Advent Venture Partners

 

Advent Venture Parnters invest in businesses that have a carefully thought out business plan and that have the core of an energetic and committed management team. The technology must address a real and significant market need and Advent spends much of their due diligence focusing on this. They look for entrepreneurs who clearly recognise where additional specialist support can help them develop their products or services more successfully and who are ambitious to grow their business.

The submitted buisness plan should cover, where appropriate: the technology and why it can be the core of a successful business; the market that it addresses; how you intend to approach this market; who the team are; how you will operate and some financial data. This should indicate how the business has been financed, what your assumptions are about fundraising and how that will be spent. Financial forecasts as appropriate are helpful too but please bear in mind that these will be challenged.
