Investment Philosophy   |   Procedures   |   Submit Business Plan

At MAVCAP, we understand that a quick response to an application for seed funding is important to entrepreneurs in order to kick-start the business or project. We have a five steps investment process to help us determine if an investment is forthcoming or not. However, the cooperation of the entrepreneur along with full and complete documentation is important to assist to speed up the decision process.


Step 1  Initial Contact/Business Plan Consultations
 

Typically, we prefer to have you, the prospective entrepreneur, email to us your business plan, executive summary or proposal before arranging for a first time meeting between MAVCAP and yourself. Upon receiving the proposal, we will review the material sent to us by comparing the proposal against our investment criteria and have a quick understanding of the project proposed. Depending on various factors, a few consultation meetings may be necessary between both parties.

Step 2  Meeting with Management Team or Entrepreneur
 
Once it is determined that the proposal matches the Seed investment criteria and MAVCAP is interested in your proposal, we will arrange a meeting with your complete management team, if available. A presentation will be warranted. Here we will be exploring further:
  1. The strength (and weaknesses) of each members of the team,
  2. The competitiveness of the product or service offering,
  3. The readiness and scalability of the targeted market and
  4. Finally, the value proposition and chemistry of the team in relation to MAVCAP and our current prospective companies.

Step 3  Detailed Evaluation & Due Diligence
 
Assuming that continual mutual interest is still strong between MAVCAP and you, our Analyst assigned to your project, will be performing extensive market, financial, technology and management validations on your company and project. This due diligence process involves MAVCAP professionals and may even involve, though not likely, other industry experts, outside consultants, suppliers and customers to help validate the strength of the value propositions.

Step 4  Commitment To Invest
 
An investment brief will be prepared and tabled to the Seed Investment Committee who will decide to invest or not to invest in you. If the decision is positive, an indicative and standard term sheet will be issued.

Step 5  Documentation & Closing
 
After the issuant of the standard term sheet and a mutual agreement is reached, standard legal documentations will follow and closing whereby the funds will be disbursed in accordance to the terms and conditions of the agreements.

Typically, the whole process beginning from Step 2 -- Meeting with Management Team onwards to Step 4 -- Commitment to Invest will take about 3-4 weeks, depending on many factors including the availability of full and complete documentation to warrant a quicker investment decision.
