Investment Philosophy

Silicon Valley World Investments' approach emphasizes operational soundness, the potential for significantly greater performance through improved operating efficiencies and/or top-line growth and clear down-the-road exit strategies. A desirable prospective investment will be a profitable, private company whose owner(s) desire full or partial liquidity. While ideal candidates have solid growth records, businesses positioned for rejuvenation through better strategic direction and experienced leadership are also desirable. In many cases, a company will serve as the platform or cornerstone for the acquisition of related businesses and the ultimate creation of a much larger entity with significantly enhanced exit opportunities.

Silicon Valley World Investments will always invest in partnership with each company's operating management in a relationship based upon genuine agreement on the pursuit of common goals and the creation of long-term value.Silicon Valley World Investments sponsors each investment by organizing, structuring and leading all aspects of the transaction; thereby enabling the management team to concentrate on operations while also enjoying a significant equity stake.

We encourage continued executive and equity participation by the owners of the businesses we invest in and structure equity ownership and incentive plans that reward growth and profitability.
