Interests: The key factors you are looking for in a business include: 1. Strong business model & scalability. The business should have a clear, well-structured model that demonstrates profitability and long-term sustainability. It should be scalable, meaning it has the potential to grow exponentially without proportional cost increases. 2. Innovation & market differentiation. The company must offer a unique product, service, or technology that sets it apart from competitors. Businesses leveraging AI, fintech, blockchain, agri-tech, or aerospace advancements are particularly attractive. 3. Financial viability & ROI potential. The financials should indicate strong revenue generation, healthy profit margins, and solid growth projections. The investment should have a clear exit strategy (IPO, acquisition, buyback) and a 10X growth potential. 4. Strong leadership & execution ability. A competent, visionary, and adaptable leadership team is crucial. Founders should demonstrate business acumen, resilience, and the ability to execute strategies effectively. 5. Market demand & competitive advantage. The industry should be high-growth, future-proof, and aligned with global economic trends. The business should have a clear competitive advantage, such as patents, proprietary technology, or strong branding. 6. Risk management & regulatory compliance. The business should have a well-defined risk mitigation strategy for market, financial, and operational risks. Compliance with local and international laws, particularly in heavily regulated industries like fintech and aerospace, is essential. 7. Sustainability & ESG impact. The company should align with sustainable business practices and have a positive Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) impact. Businesses that integrate green technology, ethical practices, and social responsibility are more attractive. 8. Synergy. The business should complement our existing investments in technology, fintech, real estate, agribusiness, and aerospace. It should align with our long-term strategy of innovation, sustainable development, and 10X growth. 9. Technology-driven & future-proof. Preference is given to businesses that leverage AI, robotics, fintech, blockchain, aviation, or space technology. The business should be adaptable to technological shifts and capable of staying ahead of industry trends. 10. Clear investment structure & terms. There should be transparent investment terms, whether equity, convertible notes, revenue share, or debt financing. The due diligence process should be smooth, with clear documentation and valuation metrics.
