Flywheel targets innovative entrepreneurs, companies and ideas that fall within its investment focus. In addition, Flywheel looks for ventures that meet the following additional criteria:
Companies seeking their first institutional dollars to fund product development and/or the initial go-to market strategy;
A business focus that involves business “re-segmentation” (defined by the Flywheel team as the use of information technologies to redefine products and/or services in existing markets, thereby reducing the risks and capital requirements associated with creation of new markets) or disruptive technologies (use of advanced scientific and technological discoveries to radically change the nature of one or more components of an industry);
Business models that offer a capital efficient path to profitability and/or shareholder liquidity, thereby minimizing dilution;
Ventures in which the Flywheel team’s expertise, experience, and relationships can add concrete and significant value.
