Rugosa Partners

Rugosa Partners invests in innovative companies seeking capital in the private markets. Rugosa Partners makes investment decisions by performing strong due diligence on each prospective private company. Our Investment criteria are: -Rugosa concentrates on attractive, startup and growth-stage “maturing” companies that are undervalued, have a good executive/management team, and already have significant industry-related investors. -We invest in technology-driven business models, not necessarily technology companies. -We concentrate on companies that find themselves in the “Valley of Death” or in the “Capital Gap.” -We concentrate on companies that have significant potential intellectual property assets (e.g., patents, trade secrets, trademarks). -We look for relatively low valuation entry points. -We look for low capital entry points with promising exit returns (ROI). -Typical investment range is between $50,000 and $1 million (with exceptions). -We invest the committed capital in tranches based on predetermined milestones. -Preferred Liquidity/Exit horizon is typically between two and four years.
