Investment process

The investment process for early stage companies involves the company seeking investment presenting to an Investment Review meeting which typically comprises three to five investment executives including one or two members of our Investment Committee (our investment approval authority). Following this Investment Review meeting the decision to commit our resource to an investment proposal will be made.

Companies seeking funding would be expected to have achieved at completion of the investment the following targets:

• Recruitment of an experienced CEO
• Well functioning board including an experienced Chairman and at least one
non-executive director appointed by Catapult
• Financial controls and responsible financial management
• Resolution of initial technical risk in relation to intellectual property
• A clear, credible and commercial business plan

A location has been identified for the company to achieve full independence
