Advice for IT Investors

Helping technology investors

 
Omniton is increasingly active in technology investment advisory work. We work with a wide range of investor clients (including corporations, investment fund managers, venture capitalists, angel investors and private investors), on a variety of deal types (early-stage VC, mergers, acquisitions and divestitures). Often we are sought out by investors seeking to enhance the performance of an existing technology company investment.

The characteristics of investing in technology companies — a wide range of often new and emerging technologies, interdisciplinary business challenges, and a short time-frame for analysis — provide a challenge that aligns well with Omniton's unique value proposition. We analyse technology companies without preconceptions, and rigorously evaluate each potential investment based on in-depth research and analysis. Our specialist knowledge of technology companies and proprietary approach give us a distinct edge.

 
Opportunity Search

We work with our clients to evaluate high potential technology investment targets. We use out expertise to focus on how strategic initiatives are being implemented and what operational improvement opportunities exist.

 
Due Diligence

We work closely with our investor clients to analyse the target technology company's strategic, operational, financial, and managerial strengths and weaknesses, in order to identify and quantify the company outlook and key upsides and downsides. We believe it is critical to quickly generate a very thorough understanding of the target's business landscape, and, as, such, our due diligence approach is extremely hands-on and detailed. In addition to publicly available and target-provided data, we exhaustively investigate key investment issues via market research surveys, discussions with current/prospective customers, industry experts, and competitors, etc.

At the heart of the due diligence effort is typically a detailed business model that analyses and projects the key inputs driving profitability (market growth, customer growth, individual cost components etc.). We analyse historical performance and assess future trends to build a bottom-up, driver-based business model.

 
Ongoing Advice

Omniton helps investors oversee their technology investments. Each of our consultants combine business skills (accounting and corporate governance) with technology expertise.
