BoCG Ventures, discover the hidden link between foolproof capitalism and the new world order.
This post was first published on May 28th, 2020.
Over the past six months, the chaos associated with the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed long-standing market fundamentals and rocked the very foundation of the global economy. For investors and business leaders alike, the world has changed and is now more unpredictable — both are now looking for alternatives to not only survive but thrive. It is clear that capitalism as it once stood is changing and the new normal is riddled with risk. Those bold enough to stake their ground will transform the economy forever; BoCG Ventures has welcomed the challenge and embarked on a journey to alter the way investors and entrepreneurs interact through its Venture Operating Model (“VOM”).
What exactly is a “VOM”?
The Venture Operating Model is a new way to connect investors and projects. Traditionally, investors take a gamble on projects hoping that the management team can successfully operate the fledgling venture. The VOM removes the investment risk and provides operational excellence to the venture through its tenured principals; thereby removing the two main obstacles for enterprise and investor success.
BoCG Venture’ primary focus is creating investor wealth through scalable technology investment strategies. Our investment strategy is to pursue projects that utilize the cumulative experience of the principals to identify, capitalize, and scale compelling venture assets. Qualifying investment projects must exceed our stringent investment criteria across qualifiers of revenue, gross margins, operating profit, et al. BoCG Ventures will target technology-enabled ventures and business model innovation opportunities throughout major U.S. and international markets.
Our firm holds core expertise in identifying and implementing a balanced investment ideology across its portfolio companies. The focus on strategic roadmaps, execution, and timely exits will directly translate into results for the targeted investment projects. Collectively, the BoCG Ventures management team has played a pivotal role in starting, growing, and exiting a variety of companies and this experience will make up the foundation for BoCG Ventures’ portfolios from start to exit.
Why Now?
At first glance, the timing of a new startup amidst a global pandemic seems ghastly but as professional risk managers, we believe there exists significant opportunity in the market. There is no better time to innovate than in the middle of chaos; applying creativity and innovation management is the formula for tangible and superior results. The risks associated with the changing global economic environment have rattled both entrepreneurs and investors. BoCG Ventures’ VOM allows innovation to thrive and our investment philosophy and raison d’être is founded on the fragile and antifragile conditions of market stressors and shocks that we are all currently experiencing. Through this time of uncertainty, we know that there will be movers, shakers, winners, and losers and the time to act is now.
At BoCG Ventures, we believe that the current environment will change how capital markets are operated, risk is managed, investments are made, and how best to grow and exit companies. Both antifragile business characteristics and technology systems will play a pivotal role in the future of venture investments and asset management. By developing a methodology that increases antifragility, we develop a new order that accelerates the success of business innovation through newfangled antifragile investments.
