Investment Approval Process
MAVAN Capital’s investment approval process, follows a structured approach designed to carefully evaluate and select high-potential startups.
1. Initial Screening: MAVAN Capital first assesses potential investments by reviewing the startup’s pitch deck and business plan. They look for alignment with their strategic focus, which often includes sectors like technology, health, and consumer products, among others. Startups that match MAVAN’s investment thesis move forward in the process.
2. Due Diligence: If a startup passes the initial screening, MAVAN conducts comprehensive due diligence. This involves a deep dive into the company’s financials, market opportunities, competitive landscape, and the strength of the founding team. MAVAN may also consult industry experts and assess the startup’s technology and intellectual property to gauge its innovation and scalability potential.
3. Investment Committee Review: MAVAN’s due diligence findings are presented to their investment committee, composed of senior partners and advisors. The committee critically evaluates the startup’s potential risks and rewards, considering how well it aligns with MAVAN’s overall portfolio strategy. This step is crucial for ensuring that every investment decision is carefully considered from multiple angles.
4. Term Sheet Negotiation: Upon receiving approval from the investment committee, MAVAN enters into negotiations with the startup to draft a term sheet. The term sheet outlines the terms of the investment, including valuation, the amount of capital to be invested, equity stake, board seats, and any other governance or control rights MAVAN may require.
5. Final Approval and Funding Once both parties agree on the terms, the investment moves to the final approval stage, where legal documents are drawn up and signed. MAVAN ensures that all terms are clearly understood and agreed upon before releasing the funds to the startup. This step solidifies the partnership and sets the framework for future collaboration.
6. Post-Investment Monitoring: MAVAN remains actively involved post-investment, providing ongoing support to the startup. This includes regular check-ins, strategic advice, and access to MAVAN’s network. They monitor the startup’s performance closely, helping guide it toward growth milestones and ensuring that the investment yields the expected returns.
MAVAN Capital’s process is thorough and designed to mitigate risks while maximizing the potential for successful outcomes, ensuring that each investment aligns with their strategic objectives and delivers value to both the startup and the firm.
