Our process |
Deal sourcing
Investment evaluation
Hypatia Capital performs rigorous due diligence, including an assessment of target company's management, operations, and financial condition and forecasts. We also carefully asses the target company's positioning within a sector and the outlook for that sector.
Investment Committee / Closing
Hypatia Capital thoroughly reviews each proposed investment with our investment committee and strategic financial partners. We collaborate extensively with potential co-investors and work with funding sources to ensure successful closing.
Portfolio management
Hypatia Capital seamlessly works with management to create detailed financial and operating plans prior to closing. Our philosophy is to remain actively involved in growth planning without encroaching on management's autonomy.
Board involvement
Hypatia Capital strives for gender-balanced board structures. Our deep bench of senior executives in all of our sectors of focus allow us to bring meaningful viewpoints to the table, both as inside and outside directors.
Exit strategies
Hypatia Capital analyzes the viability of anticipated exit strategies during the investment evaluation process. We continuously evaluate exit opportunities and market conditions to best obtain return objectives.
