Investment thesis
Dot Capital targets emerging technology leaders operating in large, disruptive growth markets, focusing on sectors including SaaS, mobile, internet infrastructure, big data, IoT, the sharing economy and digital media. The firm employs a two-pronged strategy of primary direct investments in early-stage companies combined with secondary stock purchases from founders and angels in late-stage venture-backed companies, aiming for quicker exit opportunities and reduced follow-on financing risk. It seeks companies with profitable operating business models and experienced entrepreneurial management teams, prioritizing alignment with investors and founders. Returns are expected to be driven by revenue and profit growth of portfolio companies, and the firm values perseverance and ingenuity in the entrepreneurs it backs.
