Relevance Capital We are a venture centric capital formation group; born of entrepreneurs who understand the challenges of early stage business and the associated risks relative to the potential reward. We leverage decades of investment experience to provide our investors and entrepreneurs a clear and actionable path to success and value extraction. Our vision is to create a new investment paradigm where lifelong relationships with our investors and entrepreneurs are forged by a relentless pursuit of globally disruptive people, ideas technologies anchored by an unwavering commitment of transparency and integrity. Home Strategy Portfolio Video Team Contact Strategy At Relevance Capital, our core strategy is derived from our analysis of the broad market continuum of capital and the associated challenges new companies face as they work to ensure sustainable growth, market acceptance and ultimately, return on investment. As the expansion of entrepreneurial aspiration and competition in the market has grown, early-stage investment has exploded due to communal funding from pop-up accelerators, crowd funding and angel investment. This dynamic in early-stage investment has effectively decreased the average time between rounds but has correlated in a similar, significant decline in the percentage of companies who receive subsequent follow-on financing. From an investment perspective, this has contributed to an increased but well dispersed market risk for early stage as the influx of non-directional capital has disrupted the natural selection process normally associated with start-up businesses. The result has contributed to the loss of over $1B of investment capital for investors annually and a 60% orphan rate of all early-stage businesses. For the remaining segment of start-up companies that will progress unencumbered, a new and equally significant funding gap has emerged as Institutional Investment has moved toward hedged risk in companies with a proven market presence. This funding gap is where Relevance Capital recognizes the greatest opportunity for investment performance. In order to drive success Relevance Capital deploys succinct investment principals focused on a deliberate, actionable path to value extraction guided by industry-leading partners, advisors and investment managers. We are successful because at Relevance Capital, our business was founded on entrepreneurial achievement. "You cannot have significance in this life if it's all about you.
