Typical clients work within one of our core industries, but we’re not limited by these industries. BigFish knows good people are necessary for success, we invest in the team as much as we do in their businesses or technology.
BigFish invests in companies that might not fit the traditional mold, if you have a new web app that is dedicated to making life easier for people, or helping those who cannot help themselves, we want to hear from you! We frequently invest when risks are inherently higher, so don’t be afraid to contact us. In markets where global scale rewards first-movers, waiting for organically-generated funding may mean missed expansion opportunities for you. Our significant access to capital and our network of global investors enables us to assist ventures with rapid growth at the right moment of opportunity.
Technology BigFish partners with early-stage technology companies with a leaning toward businesses operating in these sectors:
- Wireless and mobile technologies
- Network software and infrastructure
- SAAS
- Software-enabled service
Early Stage Technology Companies
We believe that tech businesses with strong leadership and timely ideas can break through and succeed with appropriately deployed capital and the right strategic partners. Our early-stage investments range from $500k to $20m per opportunity. Gain access to our robust advisor network, leverage our diverse experience, and partner with a group that recognizes the value of talent as much as technology.
Expansion Capital for Tech Firms
BigFish targets existing companies with solid expansion plans and a management team capable of executing them. We know that the right people can be the difference between success and failure, so we evaluate a young company’s technology as well as their team. We see our role as more than investors: we leverage our extensive experience and advisor network to ensure a roadmap of long-term client success. BigFish invests capital in emerging-technology companies that may not yet be cash positive, but have demonstrated unique value, commercial viability, and the potential to scale.
Growth Capital
BigFish actively seeks established companies who are:
- Helping people live better lives
- Leveraging an emerging technology
- Commercializing a niche product
- Expanding product lines to meet rapid demand
- Strategically consolidating a fragmented industry
- Tapping into unmet needs in the global marketplace
- Increasing the geographic footprint of their expanding business
Growth moments usually have a limited window of opportunity. Local lenders are often averse or unfamiliar with providing growth capital to the business-services sector. In markets where the early bird gets the worm, waiting for organically-generated funding to get started may mean a missed opportunity. BigFish has the contacts and capital to strategically gain market share when your business needs it the most.
Energy is a trillion-dollar global market, but it’s more than that, it’s full of opportunities to help people around the globe. BigFish seeks to partner with exceptional energy companies that have the potential to improve national and global energy efficiency through innovation. BigFish identifies, invests in, mentors, and partners with forward-thinking energy companies with the potential to shape the transition toward greater global energy efficiency.
Niche Industries Although we’re not niche-market focused, we are partial to opportunities that exhibit these qualities:
- Asset-light businesses with B2B sales strategies
- Exceptionally-strong management teams
- Technology-driven businesses
- Compete-in-niche and defensible market segments
- Go-to-market strategies that leverage channel sales
