We encourage our companies to focus on the future through prudent capital investment, R&D, new product marketing, talent development, improved operations and appropriate strategic acquisition. Demand is driven by consumer income and wealth and demographics. The profitability of individual firms depends largely on effective marketing.

We have a vast network and are experienced. We are principals and not brokers, will not invest in public companies (unless they will delist) as we focus on the products and the long-term growth and the true value of the company. A project needs to be clear, transparent and has to be done with heart. We are hands-on but not babysitters and demand loyalty and integrity. We are prepared to entertain investments even for governments and government projects. Requests for funding or cooperation with a clear name address and phone number and clear information. Business plans without transparency and detail will be ignored. Failing to reply or to detail will result in blacklisting
