Investment Criteria

 

 

 

 

Protek is looking for small focused software companies preferably at the next stage after start up, who are looking either to sell their business or aggressively expand and are seeking equity capital.

The market for raising capital has changed dramatically as there are 10x more companies chasing 10x less money. You must throw everything you have at raising capital. 

Here is how they work :  Upon initial receipt of a company’s due diligence materials, The ProTek Capital  team will typically come to a decision as to whether or not to extend an invitation to engage further within a week to 10 days time. 

In order for Protek to be the most effective, they prefer companies who can supply us with as many tools as possible. The tools usually range from a terrific business plan to a company that  is audited to having a CEO who speaks great to large audiences just to name a few. Protek doesn't require all the tools as passion for one’s own company can be enough on its own but we make it very clear that if you want us to do the best job possible, the more tools provided the better.
