## About Tigris Ventures

Tigris Ventures is an unconventional seed-stage investment firm and venture incubator with access to over $50M in capital. We seek out compelling opportunities that can significantly impact healthcare and the environment. We focus on early-stage ventures, primarily in the Southern California region, with relatively low risk that can produce a significant return on investment within two to four years.

Unlike most VC firms, we invest our own capital, and will entertain opportunities whose exit valuations are relatively modest, typically in the $5-100M range. Some ventures are incubated within our facility—typically ones that we co-found. These start-ups have access to shared resources, including our team of domain experts, CAD capabilities, a complete development and prototyping laboratory, and a patent attorney.

Investment Criteria The most important aspects we consider include the potential impact of the innovation on quality of life or the environment, the strength of intellectual property, the ability to demonstrate proof-of-concept with a relatively low initial investment, the experience of the management team, market size and growth, regulatory and reimbursement hurdles, profit margins, and the potential for a successful exit by acquisition.
