Jewel Burks Solomon: 我认为Collab Capital的成功归功于与有限合伙人建立的深厚关系,以及我们对共同繁荣愿景的清晰表达。我们花费大量时间与有限合伙人会面,激发他们对我们愿景的兴趣,并讲述一个关于我们如何找到那些正在构建不同类型未来的杰出企业家的独特故事。我们的第一支基金规模为5000万美元,许多有限合伙人都选择继续支持我们的第二支基金,同时也欢迎了一些新的投资者。这为我们提供了新的资金,以继续我们的旅程。在投资方面,我们通常会考虑10年的时间范围,因为我们主要在种子阶段进行投资,这意味着我们将与这些公司长期合作。我们预计在未来三到五年内,我们的投资组合中的大多数公司将实现退出。对于退出方式,我们对各种可能性持开放态度,包括私募股权收购和战略收购。最重要的是,我们希望每笔交易都能为基金带来回报。例如,对于规模为5000万美元的第一支基金,我们希望投资的公司至少能带来5000万美元的回报。对于规模为7500万美元的第二支基金,我们的标准会更高。总之,我们致力于建立战略合作伙伴关系,以便在合适的时机将我们的投资组合公司介绍给合适的买家。
