We create value by understanding our target investment sectors well and working closely with each management team. At Earlybird, we build value by emphasizing a focus on the fundamentals that build great companies - comprehensive market research and analysis, innovative technology and products, financial prudence and responsibility as well as outstanding management teams.

Every member of the Earlybird team is committed to helping our portfolio companies succeed and we bolster that commitment with our four pillars of excellence:

PARTNERSHIP

OPERATING EXPERIENCE

CAPITAL MARKET EXPERTISE

INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITY AND NETWORK



PARTNERSHIP
Our investment in a company is a special relationship to us; each portfolio company not only has access to its Earlybird Partner, but also to our resources and the team as a whole.

This open-partnership principle means all of our highly experienced, seasoned team members are working for you and, most importantly, are available to you.

OPERATING EXPERIENCE
At Earlybird, all of our Founding Partners are experienced entrepreneurs with a wealth of day-to-day corporate management expertise, in addition to their substantial investment knowledge. The Partners have gained their relevant operating experience from managing companies similar to our own portfolio companies - from start-up through to other stages of corporate growth. This means that the Earlybird Partners can provide realistic assistance in the development of business strategy, recruitment of critical hires and operational tactics.

CAPITAL MARKET EXPERTISE
In addition to providing entrepreneurs with capital in the early stages of their company's development, Earlybird also works alongside CEOs and founders to identify the best sources of later stage capital and provides support in the general fundraising process by attracting the best and most value-added partners.

INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITY AND NETWORK
Earlybird's more mature portfolio companies have developed international operations in the US, Europe and Asia; and in some cases relocated to the US in order to take advantage of the market locale, entrepreneurial leadership, expansion and exit opportunities.

In today's competitive business environment, it is no longer enough to just focus on local markets. We help our portfolio companies not only with sourcing international finance but also providing introductions to key business partners and potential customers; thus providing local support on an international basis. Our international contact network of industry analysts and experts translates into a significant asset for our portfolio companies.
