What do we want in founders?

At Symvan we look for authentic founders.

We don't want those who merely make a list of good ideas and then pick one.

 

We prefer people who have actually experienced a problem,

thought about it, and then solved it.

​

Our founders have passion and vision.  Therefore, they are able to attract like minded talent

and improve the chances of huge success.

​

Lots of businesses have potential to show modest growth.

We avoid these.

 

Instead we focus on those that have very high growth potential

and so we might only make a handful of investments a year.

​

All investors undertake in-depth due diligence.  

However at Symvan we adopt an approach that goes much further.

 

Apart from the normal questions one expects, 

we insist on the following:

  • Can they disrupt rather than pursue just marginal gains?

  • Is there potential to create a new category?

  • Do they genuinely want and welcome connections, advice, and mentoring... or just the money?

  • Are they passionate? Are they consumers of their own offering?

  • Are they honest about what they can't do? Are they willing to find a way to plug the gaps?
