Investment process for partners

EARLY STAGE COMPANY INVESTMENTS

We seek to invest in early stage companies built from cutting edge research generated at all Central & East Europe and Middle East universities and third level institutions. We invest in IP rich companies that have high growth potential that are led by a founding team that has the ambition to work with Botower Capital to rapidly scale a business into international markets

PROOF OF PRINCIPLE INVESTMENTS

This investment is aimed at researchers who want to prove the technical and commercial potential of an innovative concept. It is suitable for pre-incorporated commercialisation projects that require crucial validation steps prior to creating a new company.

2. Project evaluation and investment

Selected projects will be subject to thorough evaluation including technical, marketing and business aspects. We will finalise a business plan in collaboration, and submit it to the Botower Capital Investment Board for approval.

3. Launching the project

Once approved, your project will be covered by an investment or collaborative agreement and will be run as either a spin-off company with defined co-ownership, or as a collaborative project with shared IP rights in defined ratio.

4. Project management

Each project will have an agreed action plan and a dedicated team led by a project manager. This team will be responsible for implementation and day-to-day management. Additionally, a nominated steering committee (or supervisory board) will be responsible for strategic decisions and dispute resolution.

5. Exit strategy

As the project progresses, the Botower Capital team will search for additional partners, licensees, customers or investors to ensure future development. Our strategy is to develop the project to be ready for acquisition or out-licensing, or to reach sufficient sales, within 3-5 years after signature of the agreement.
