FOURTEN INVESTMENTS
Family Office - Reimagined
Our Investment Philosophy
Investing in companies is more than putting your money in a Fixed Deposit. The Investments are like the members of your family. Everyone needs love, at the same time everyone is different.
Early Stage Investing
Our philosophy has always been to identify a startup or business at an early stage, either at concept stage or at angel/seed stage. This helps us grow along with the business and also assist them with our experience and also our network to help them grow.
This requires a lot of patience and commitment to nurture the business. We have been doing this as this is driven by our passion to grow business.
We have also been successful to an extent in doing this and validates our commitment in this philosophy of ours.
Founder Focussed
The key ingredient for any startup is the concept and the business model. Irrespective of how good the concept and the model is, it would be a failure, if the founder and his team is not strong enough. Founder plays an important factor for the success of the company.
Fourten is heavily focused on the founder and does banks more on the founder to execute the concept and the business model. It gives them all the support that is required for executing the vision to a tee.
Industry Agnostic
Identifying the right venture to invest in that blends with our philosophies is not an easy task. At the same time, fixing us to a certain vertical will also narrow down the options for us to participate in promising ventures.
We have invested in a variety of ventures from the Software Service Industry, to E-Commerce and Real Estate. It all comes down to ventures that meet our passion and the founders with whom we connect.
Business Centric
No idea is complete without a proper business model, No matter how innovative or problem solving it is. One of the key ingredients has to be a solid business model that takes, revenue into account, even in all their growth projects and that quickly balances the scale from red to green.
