Criteria

At New Cycle Capital, we believe the next generation of great businesses will combine strong economic opportunity with a commitment to making a difference in the world. We are looking to identify opportunities in sectors and stages where venture capital is underallocated and work closely with these companies to define and grow their businesses. With our focus on the extended green economy and lower-income populations, we also align ourselves with entrepreneurs and teams who are passionate about their company's mission and motivated by a desire to affect positive change. As a result, our investment criteria combine both traditional economic criteria and criteria that assess the company's values and social impact.


Economic criteria:

	Great entrepreneur/initial team
	Economic model with high gross margins or recurring revenue
	Possible to validate customer value proposition
	Large addressable market
	Commitment to capital efficiency

Sectors of Interest
