Race Point Capital Group focuses seed and early-stage investments in privately-held companies in the high technology and green technology sectors. The firm is particularly in investments in the following sectors: (1) software and information technology (2) web and e-Commerce (3) media and social media (4) mobile and wireless (5) networking and telecommunications (6) clean technology (7) renewable energy and (8) green technology. Race Point Capital will consider investment opportunities in other areas if members of the group have expertise in the area and if the opportunity offers the potential to generate superior returns. The firm looks for opportunities with the potential to transform existing markets or create new markets. In particular, they seek to identify companies that are well-positioned to take advantage of significant emerging technological, societal or environmental trends. Race Point Capital looks for companies that are at the beginning of their development cycle. Typically, the firm looks for companies with a prototype or beta product with initial beta customer traction, but they also consider earlier stage opportunities and later-stage post revenue situations. Race Point Capital seeks to invest in technology-centric companies, that is, companies with business or product ideas that are based on innovative technologies or that utilize technology in an innovative way. Companies should have the potential to grow market share over time while maintaining high margins despite increasing competition. The firm looks for companies with sustainable competitive advantages arising from strong intellectual property, strategic relationships and exclusive agreements, first-mover advantages which can be converted into ownership of customer relationships, very strong brand recognition, hard to duplicate manufacturing or business model innovations and special skills or knowledge that is not easily replicated. Race Point Capital is especially interested in technology-driven opportunities that have the potential to transform existing market or create new markets. Companies must be focused on transforming or developing markets with the potential to reach several hundred million dollars in size and have a clear plan to become market leaders within 5 years. Race Point Capital typically invests in companies with a reasonable pre-money valuation of $1 million to $5 million that can reach positive cash flow or a strategic exit without requiring capital of more that $7.5 million in aggregate. Initial investments generally range from $100,000 to $500,000. The firm looks for companies with the potential to return 10 to 20 times the capital invested within 3 to 6 years.
