Investors

  • I learned to embrace risk, as long as it was well thought out and, in a worst-case scenario, I'd still land on my feet.

    — Eli Broad
  • I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.

Our Investment Strategy

Our investment strategy is to provide resources and guidance to outstanding management teams that are building market-leading companies. We focus on early stage companies, and we make it our goal to create superior returns for our investors. A compelling investment will meet all of the following criteria:

Comprehensive Business Vision and Plan

The entrepreneur should have a well-defined plan and strategy for growing the company to meet investment expectations. The plan will have specific milestones and metrics that can be used to evaluate how the company is performing against their plan. We require well-conceived financial projections based on sound assumptions, attractive profits and cash flow growth.

Grounded Management Team

The business must have a balanced team that can effectively run the day-to-day operations without losing sight of long-term goals and objectives.

High Revenue and Profit Potential

Investment opportunities must meet return on investment expectations within an acceptable timeframe.

Significant Market Share

Candidate businesses must demonstrate a strategy to claim a significant share of the market.

Time to Market

Candidate business should have the potential to grow quickly and manage the scale necessary to succeed. Companies must be in a position to get to market quickly and generate significant revenue beyond the initial offering launch.

Competitive Advantage

Ideal investment candidates must have proprietary features that distinguish them from competitors or provide barriers to entry that result in a significant competitive advantage.

Clear Exit Strategy

Vydrogen investors (all accredited individual investors) expect returns of 10X their initial investment within three to five years. This return on investment is essential due to the high risk of early-stage ventures. Thus, a clearly articulated investor returns strategy and exit strategy are essential.
