We work closely with our founding teams to develop and execute strategies while providing access to key players, markets, and capital through our strong commercial and financial networks.
Criteria
We invest in exceptional teams that have an execution-focused approach, dedicated to building scalable products with the ambition to become industry leaders.
We focus on IP-centric scalable solutions with high technology risk and low market risk, for lasting sustainable competitive advantage.
Sectors
Under our second fund Granatus Tech4SDG, we pursue problem sets within the UN SDG framework and focus on fundamental human problems rather than the business of convenience.
We prefer companies that leverage the latest developments in artificial intelligence, advanced computing, data sciences, biotechnology and robotics, targeting preferred segments such as healthcare, education food/agri, resource efficiency and advanced computing.
Geography
We invest globally with a view to leveraging Armenia’s engineering talent by helping portfolio companies establish value-add activities in Armenia.
Armenia offers skilled engineering talent with international experience, a strong execution-focused entrepreneurial culture, comparatively lower domestic operating costs, supportive government policies and financial incentives, and a strong presence of the diaspora in major tech ecosystems.
Stage
We engage early in the life of a company, providing startups with initial seed capital, and following on with additional investments as the company matures.
We often assume the role of lead investor and leverage our network of like-minded co-investment partners.
We are typically the first investor partnering with exceptional teams driven by passion to find solutions to the world’s pressing problems.
