Investment theses
We select investments
by looking throught the prism of trends in individual markets and their needs. In the DNA of our portfolio we embed a future, above-avarage profitable exit.
We are looking for companies
operating in innovative industries. Companies from fast-changing sectors of the economy, where the implementation of new technologies is carried out on a large scale.
We look for ideas
that have a ,,diruptive factor’’ within – a strong particle of breakthrought, ambition and a possibility of building completely new business models and products.
We cannot stress enough
the importance of the proces of building the capacity of the team we invest in. We find determined, commited founders who are experts in their fields.
We believe in the value
of well protected IP. It is a key asset, building the potential of business. Each of our portfolio companies has or is currently preparing international patent applications that build competetive adventage in the global market.
Think big & global
is the common factor of our companies. We are interested only in those businesses that can be scaled globally.
The development of a nanotechnology startup requires taking effective action on many fronts: R&D activities, cooperation with international patent office in the field of intellectual property protection, fundraising, establishment of contacts with scientific and industry partners at home and abroad. In all these areas we can count on the great support and active involvement of the Leonarto team. The way the Leonarto team works, perfectly reflects the meaning of the phrase “smart money”.
Leonarto is for Bioavlee an invaluable partner in formulating and implementing strategic plans towards sustainable development. The focus on providing an atmosphere of openness that supports unfettered exchange of ideas, views and experiences are the features of our daily relationships. The support and advice of an experienced team of specialists at Leonarto invariably turn out to be very useful for us in building strategic advantages and key operational improvements. The existing cooperation with Leonarto has brought Bioavlee benefits beyond our expectations.
The transition from idea to product (Pregnabit) required a combination of competences and resources from many areas. Getting to the stage where we are today would not be possible without the professional and relational support of the Leonarto team.
Leonarto is primarily professional entrepreneurs. A flesh and blood business people hardened in market battles. They are people who have gone all the way in building companies from scratch, and they understand the obstacles that are lurking on the way. Thanks to that their support is real. There is no place for purely theoretical, academic mentoring here. We are really helped in moving our business to the wide waters.
Due to the achievements to date in supporting the development of early-stage technology companies in the field of medical solutions, the Leonarto fund was the natural choice for Genomtec. Thanks to the experienced Leonarto team, Genomtec was able to significantly accelerate the development of its technology, and also obtained valuable support in the area of intellectual property protection and development of the Company’s market strategy.
Through marketing and business support, cooperation with Leonarto has allowed us to accelerate the commercialization process and the expansion of sales and business development teams. As a VC fund, Leonarto has a very partnership approach to start-ups and provides invaluable contacts in the capital market.
Leonarto support allows us to look far into the future, refine the strategy and answer difficult questions. In addition to the financial background, we gained a partner who willingly shares his knowledge, experience and business know-how. The vision of a global company has become a plan. Together with Leonarto, we started to implement it.
Every company at an early stage of development struggles with the basic paradox about how to survive the coming months, and at the same time develop the organization towards the strategic goals. Leonarto managers understand these challenges perfectly, they approach business realistically and ambitiously. They see the current problems that we face every day and support us in creating long-term priorities. What we particularly value in cooperation with Leonarto is directness and honesty. However, in business there is nothing for free: Leonarto gives a lot, but also demands a lot.
