HOME : INVESTMENT STRATEGY : INVESTMENT CRITERIA

The Jarvinian IT Mobility Initiative seeks to find opportunities in young technology-driven companies, whose innovations span a multitude of industry sectors. The following is designed to serve as a general outline of our investment preferences:

  • Sector Preference - Jarvinian centers its investment strategy on the broad-based and rapidly expanding IT Mobility arena.  Sectors represented by IT Mobility are Core Infrastructure, Advanced Components, and Enabled Media.  Click here for expansion on representative sub-sectors.

  • Investment Stage - Our investment strategy focuses on early stage organizations with significant core technologies.  Therefore, Jarvinian’s preference is to be the lead investor in Seed, Startup, and Series A rounds.  We will participate in later stage rounds for either existing portfolio companies or exceptional new opportunities. 

  • Investment Size - Typical initial investments will range from $1M to $5M, with an average target cap of $20M over the life of the investment.  However, Jarvinian is willing to consider select investments falling above or below this range.

  • Geographic Preference - While Jarvinian operates primarily out of the Northeast United States, we do not place geographic restrictions on our investments.  Truly valuable innovation is too rare a commodity not to have a global outlook, and we are willing to consider investments in virtually any region.

  • Proprietary Technology - The cornerstone of our investment philosophy is robust and well defendable proprietary technologies.  Jarvinian seeks companies whose intellectual properties have the capacity to fundamentally alter markets.

  • Market Scope - We look for organizations whose technologies exploit fundamental discontinuities in markets greater than $1B in size. Proprietary innovations must displace or complement existing capabilities in ways that ensure long-term market dominance.
