• Scale: annual revenue potential of at least $50 million
• Market: a compelling, well articulated strategy for capturing and defending a significant market share
• Barriers to entry: patents or proprietary technology
• Team: a strong, not necessarily complete, team
• Exit strategy: some idea of who will eventually acquire your company
• How we fit: a desire for advice and coaching
• Valuation: you must fit within our risk/reward expectations
