The Firm Williams Venture Partners is an opportunistic venture capital firm, providing growth capital to innovative operating businesses. The firm’s objective is to build upon a portfolio of quality venture investments with a select group of long-term investment partners. The firm emphasizes strong fundamentals and healthy returns that meet the goals of investment partners. Williams Venture Partners ensures the success of its investments through active participation in business development, strategic relationship building and controlled scalability. The principals of Williams Venture Partners draw on their experience and expertise to guide portfolio and partner companies through restructuring and growth phases. Williams Venture Partners also relies on the intellectual capital of investment partners and entrepreneurs in residence to maximize returns. Investment Strategy The firm’s investment strategy is to identify tipping point growth capital investment opportunities in innovative companies operating in a growth trend market segment with a proven track record and superior management. The firm seeks to identify ventures with reduced risk indicators, strategic growth opportunities and investor preferences at optimum valuations. Beyond the investment criteria and entrenched vetting process, the firm ultimately secures investment opportunities that match the expertise and financial goals of the principals and investment partners. Investment Financing Williams Venture Partners operates on a transactional funding platform with a select group of private investors and co-investment syndicates. The firm does not manage a fund or require pledged funding commitments, but rather relies upon quality deal flow and a collaborative evaluation process to ensure that only the best investment opportunities are secured and funded. This funding strategy allows the firm to remain free from pressures to deploy capital in a more volatile economic climate and it allows investors the freedom and comfort of engaging and selecting investment opportunities that meet their portfolio allocation and investment targets. The firm does strive to maintain a strong understanding of the interests, expertise and appetite of investment partners. Lead investors are often invited to join one of the firm’s boards or committees dedicated to a critical function of Williams Venture Partners’ activities. Asset Management Williams Venture Partners implements a boutique style conservative approach to asset management, maintaining a low partner to active deal ratio and a diversification of partner roles across the portfolio. The firm also relies on industry experts, strategic investment partners and entrepreneurs in residence. The firm strives to be completely transparent, providing open access to information on investment opportunities and regular reporting on performing assets, as well as direct interface with investment advisors. |
