APPROACH

Global Technology Arbitrage

We specialize in Global Technology / Knowledge Arbitrage (GTA). While a good technology, product, or service can be conceived in one place, the place of origin may not necessarily represent the optimal location to fund and nurture such a technology or business plan. We leverage our global industry and financial contacts to tailor strategic alliances and joint ventures whereby underlying cultural differences represent a positive rather than a negative.

Through GTA, we aim to uncover hidden value for clients and investors by facilitating the transfer of technology and knowledge to those markets where it commands the greatest value.

Knowledge Supply Chain Management (K-SCM)

We specialize in global Knowledge Supply Chain Management (K-SCM). Through K-SCM, we strive to guard against the speculative use of valuable operating and financial resources in the development of new technology, products, and services. We then design a customized process / system driven solution to each unmet need. Implementation involves the designation of a Knowledge Supply Chain Manager to monitor the technology and / or product / service development logistics. Moreover, progress is reviewed on a quarterly basis by all participants.

Business Principles

We operate according to a rigorous set of  Business Principles which help us to serve our clients and community.
	Our fundamental mission is to provide companies, investors, and individuals, both domestic and international, an understanding of how to function and prosper under the ideology of capitalism.
	Our goal is to build an internationally respected investment banking and advisory firm with a strong franchise for providing superior advice and structuring complex transactions that are not normally available at other financial organizations.
	We are always global in our thinking. The firm began with a focus on Asia and the U.S., has expanded to Europe, and will continue to place a priority on arranging cross-border transactions and carrying out its mission in a range of international markets.
	Our firm is primarily service driven but also entrepreneurial. We will seek whenever possible to tie our compensation to the success of our clients and will take risks as a principal where appropriate. We will participate in the management team or board of directors of our clients when helpful and proactively contribute to the creation of corporate value.
	Our firm is a non-bureaucratic company where each professional is an entrepreneur, with considerable freedom to develop new business and investment opportunities and clients for the firm.
	Our aim is to continue to build a firm that is greater than the sum of its individual parts, in which our professionals focus on the long-term success of clients and the firm as well as on supporting their colleagues over immediate personal gain.
	We preserve our unique identity and culture while remaining flexible in working with outside firms, professionals, and investors on projects to better serve our clients.
