Our team has a strong record of utilizing their start-up and management experience, industry knowledge, network of business/customer relationships, and recruiting skills to assist in building significant shareholder value.

Southern Cross is currently investing in companies that fit our investment criteria. We prefer to act as lead or co-lead in the early stages where we have experience that can help build value rapidly. We do not have a minimum investment amount, however, a typical initial investment will be $2 million to $5 million with an ability to invest more money in later rounds.

Key areas of experience and focus include:

* Software and software systems
* Telecommunications
* Materials and electronics
* Security
* Nanotechnology
* Environmental science and energy

Within these broad areas we are interested in everything from chips to services.

Southern Cross requires a formal submission before meetings or presentations are scheduled. This allows our partners to review and understand your ideas. It also greatly enhances the interactive value of conducting a meeting.
