Fast profits and quick exits typify venture capitalists. Unfortunately,
this may not exemplify building companies which last.
At Cleary Gull, each time an equity investment is made, it begins a real ongoing partnership where business fundamentals and sustained growth do in fact matter most. The foundation for a successful partnership lies in an active commitment from both parties. By combining strengths as well as capital, a partnership can grow the company much larger and faster, with benefit to all. We look for companies with established markets and managements, whose owners desire to continue to have a significant financial, as well as emotional interest in the company. Unique products and a niche in the marketplace that will sustain growth are important. In return, we bring partnership experience and expertise in financial management, operations planning and marketing. We have the necessary capital base to support in-depth financial commitments. Through our own resources and strategic investment partnerships, we control over $70 million for private equity investments. |
