Invenfin

"Invenfin is a venture capital investment company wholly owned by Remgro Limited. Invenfin invests in growing businesses with globally scalable commercial potential, protectable intellectual property and dynamic, cohesive management teams.

Invenfin has a “hands-on” investment approach, working closely with management to add strategic value and support for increased success.

 

Invenfin is an early stage venture capital fund. As part of Remgro Ltd, we have an established, global business network with a proven track record.  Our funding requirements are flexible but all investments must have unique intellectual property.

We are interested in all types of innovation, in all sectors. This may involve a new product, process, software innovation, device, technology or business model.

We are looking for profitable opportunities that can succeed internationally. We aim to provide early stage venture capital as well as the supporting skills and networks as well as strategic advice required by start-ups to increase their chances of success.

 

Your business needs to be based on sound intellectual property that demonstrates an innovation addressing a real, global need. If you have a proven concept, patent or design that can be protected with appropriate barriers to entry and is different to existing global alternatives, then we would like to hear more. We look to back people that are solving problems in creative and innovative ways.

It’s not good enough to get the same result in a different way, your innovation should demonstrate a real improvement in either efficiency, cost or outcome. Furthermore, this improvement should not be easily copied or implemented by competitors.

Remember that there must be a real need for your product or its application. Innovation with little or no demand and limited commercial application is of no interest to us. We want products of the future.

Global Potential – The International Market

We want ideas that have global possibility. If your idea is truly revolutionary, then it should qualify – we want investments that will change the world and succeed in the international market place. Think big – we do.

Passionate People – Committed & Tenacious

We back enthusiastic entrepreneurs who are prepared to go the distance. Many good ideas fail; however, personal drive and energy are usually the catalysts that successfully bring products to market. Just as we are approachable, you must be open to our suggestions and influence – operationally and at board level – to work with us, absorb and exploit our inputs, and allow us to add value.

Also, be realistic – assumptions should be based on research (as far as possible) and take real world norms and practices into account.

Further guidelines:

• Core: What is your core offering? Make it short, clear, succinct – we need to get this straight away!
• Need: What is the burning need you are solving or addressing? This should be more than a nice to have.
• Revenue: How will you make money from addressing this need? This should realistic and sustainable?
• Proof of concept: We need to see that your concept works, thus a beta or basic working version – refinement is part of the commercialisation process.
• Market: Is your product easy to adopt or implement? Will your customers pay a premium for your product?
• Team: Do you have the necessary skills or expertise in the required areas?
• Funding required: Focus on what you require to get to market. We invest in the commercialisation of Intellectual Property, not buildings and factories.
