While our network of investors is quite diverse, there are key criteria prevalent in their investments.

TradeWind Ventures can assist in meeting the criteria; however, certain core factors must be present. Please contact us or submit your Business Plan for review.

Stage

Companies should be generating revenue, although not necessarily profitable to date. A few investors may have an interest in pre-revenue companies, but development should be complete.

Industry/Sectors

High growth and high margin potential that allow for significant returns upon exit are more important than specific industry or sector.

Market Size/Potential

Companies should have the potential to reach $25 million in revenue within 3 years.

Uniqueness

Regardless of industry, a company should have unique technology, IP, or business model which cannot be easily replicated.  Reasonable barriers to entry should exist.

Management

A strong, experienced management team is essential. If funding is necessary to round out the team, then current management should have experience and success in the industry.
