UniQuest

UniQuest is a leader in the commercialisation of early-stage intellectual property (IP), well versed in financing and establishing new start-ups and leveraging a rich pool of key industry connections to grow businesses towards meaningful impact. UniQuest will perform initial due diligence on your opportunity and if the proposal looks sound, you will be asked to fill in a short application form. More advanced due diligence will then be performed and depending on the amount of capital being requested you may be asked to pitch to our Investment Advisory Committee. There is no ‘one size fits all’ solution to qualifying as a great investment—but to be competitive you should ideally have a new technology, valuable intellectual property, strong early market validation, founders with exceptional credentials, a strong business model, a realistic and attainable target market, potential for sustained growth and a credible path to return for investors. The Extension Fund has a broad investment mandate, not limited to any particular sector, industry or business model. The Extension Fund is interested in a broad range of technology types. Examples of previous investment include—medical, food and beverage, renewable energy and agricultural technology-based companies. We simply require that an innovative technology is central to your product and/or service.
