FOCUS ON ACTIVE MANAGEMENT AND HUMAN RESOURCES |
|
|
|
Achieving good returns in venture capital is increasingly dependent
on good operational management of target companies following the initial investment. The private equity
sector has begun focusing on employing fund managers with extensive experience in
optimising the management of companies. This is particularly important in small technology businesses
where sales and marketing experience is often lacking. The experience Atila Ventures' management team has
in managing technology and industrial businesses, particularly in sales and marketing, will be used to
support target companies. After the investment, the management of the target company will
often be strengthened or restructured.
The Atila management team's experience in advising such processes, their existing network of experts and contacts
with leading executive search consultants and business schools will
help for this purpose. |
