We believe in small and emerging businesses so much that we are willing to put our time and money where our mouth and hearts are. |

The
Plum Tree Group makes seed and early-stage investments in target
companies that have the potential to become significant stand alone
businesses. We will also opportunistically invest in later stage
companies under special circumstances. Factors of importance in
appraising a prospective investment's potential for capital
appreciation include the following: |
| |
| |
The Management Team. |
| |
A management team with exceptional credentials and an overriding motivation to succeed. The Plum Tree Group may also back companies or concepts with an incomplete team, with the intent to help complete the team. The Plum Tree Group's objective will be to complete the team with individuals that have previous operating experience in the industry, are self-motivated, have a high degree of urgency, and a long-term commitment to the business. |
| |
|
| |
Large Markets. |
| |
Large and growing markets that allow companies to expand rapidly to significant size in two to five years. Also attractive is a strong position in an established or niche market, or an early position in a rapidly growing market with a large potential size that will enable the companies to achieve a meaningful level of sales. |
| |
|
| |
Entry Barriers. |
| |
Intellectual property, proprietary product lines or other competitive advantages, which enable the business to achieve above-average earnings. |
|
|
| |
Business Model. |
| |
A business with potential for large margins and significant free cash flow. |
|
|
|
Attractive Deal Structure. |
| |
A reasonable valuation of the venture at the time of investment, to provide a substantial return-on-investment opportunity commensurate with risk. |
|
| |
In summary, The Plum Tree Group plans to work with and invest in companies that can demonstrate a large market opportunity, superior competitive position, proprietary product or service, tangible customer benefits, and future liquidity. Above all, The Plum Tree Group will look for a superior management team with the discipline, experience, and drive necessary to build a company that is the leader in the marketplace.
