Criteria

We are looking for companies that can be game changers.  Our companies bring disruptive technologies and applications to substantial market opportunities.  They solve big, high value problems in innovative ways and partner with Stone Street Ventures to establish their market leadership.

​

Our focus is on investing in great businesses, not just great concepts.  Quality revenue is predictable, generates a high gross margin, and is diversified.  We value companies that have proven that their sales model and technology can work at a smaller scale, but need the capital to expand more aggressively to prove it on a larger scale.

 

We principally invest in companies where the founder(s) maintains a large ownership (20%+) in the company.  Often times, the founder(s) may be the largest or majority shareholder in the company.  We believe meaningful founder ownership creates immediate alignment with all shareholders – a key element of success.
