Working Together
Before we invest, we want to get well-acquainted with you and your com-
pany. After we invest, we support your company at key decision points
and want to see it through to a big success.
How to Start:
Simply send your business plan to start (at) targetpartners.de. We
normally respond within one to two weeks. We treat such materials as strictly confi-
dential. And remember: brevity is the soul of wit!
Getting to Know You (Due Diligence):
Before we invest, we want to get to know
your products, customers and competitors – but, most of all, to get to know you and
your team. Both you and we should dedicate enough time for this phase.
Investment:
Soon after both parties have made the decision to work together, it's
time to create a contractual framework identifying the basis of our investment. Legal
contracts establish clear rules for both sides.
Working Together:
One of our partners is your principal contact at Target Partners.
But the whole partnership is available to you: all of us have the same interest in your
company's success. We meet regularly with you and are always available in critical
times. Transparent, direct exchanges with one another makes for a dependable and
predictable partnership.
The Exit:
Typically, we invest in a company for a period of between three and seven
years. We don't believe in short-term speculation or having to take hasty action at a
difficult time. We want to sell our investment when your company is at its most
successful point!
And then?
Even after the sale of our stake in your company, we want to stay in
touch. Perhaps you'll start another company! Or you may want to work with one of our
portfolio firms. Or you'll reach a point where you want to trust us with your money as
an investor.
