Integrity
We care a lot about the quality and integrity of our team and the management teams, co-investors, and strategic partners.  We like to deal with not only the highest quality entrepreneurs and companies, but with good people-we think they make better partners in the long run, and they attract colleagues and employees of equivalent caliber.  We value conservative business practice, and we guard the confidential and proprietary information entrusted to us with utmost care.
Mutual respect
We think we work best through our relationships with great entrepreneurs and managers.  We try to know where we add value and where we do not.  We bring our own perspective on particular healthcare technologies, nanotechnology, IT technology, financing sources, and opportunities, but at the same time we expect these views to be appreciated by the technical and operating expertise of the client teams.   We bring far more to the table than just the dollars and advice, but we also trust our managers to build their organizations in their own mold.
Long-term relationships
We have invested in several successful entrepreneurs more than once.  Over the last several decades, we have worked with many other talented professionals whom we count as colleagues and friends.  We value these long-term relationships, and believe they are the foundation of future successes.
Proprietary and Defensible Technology
We typically work for companies with a novel technology or a novel application of an existing technology.  The proprietary nature of the technology and its defensibility are critical determinants in the ability for significant value creation.  Our vision derived from decades of experience typically synergizes with these scenarios best.
Comprehensive Planning
We help companies to develop a well conceived, coherent and capital efficient business or project plan.  Building technology companies can be capital intensive, and we are particularly focused on models supported by the measured deployment and disciplined consumption of resources to achieve significant milestones.  We pay special attentions to punctuality, efficiency, and speed, so your productivity and resource gains are maximized.
