Limited
Partners
It is and will continue to be Alameda's strategy
to include global leaders in a variety of industries who wish to
act on, not react to, the disruptive potential of convergent technologies
as investors in our fund. While these limited partners have sizable
R&D staff of their own, they realize that no single company
can do it all. They look to an affiliation with Alameda Capital
and select portfolio companies as a way of filling “white
spaces”: areas of technology advancement that they cannot
focus on internally, but which will certainly impact markets of
importance to them.
Our corporate Limited Partners will be especially
significant to our portfolio companies. They have been recruited,
in part, based upon their willingness to help our portfolio companies
accelerate their development and revenue ramp via win-win manufacturing,
sales & distribution and co-development alliances, technology
licensing, customer/supplier relationships and/or co-investment.
We will, however, never force any portfolio company to develop a
relationship with any of our limited partners, nor will we ever
guarantee any of our limited partners that any of our portfolio
companies will establish an alliance with them. Our role is simply
to foster such relationships when it makes mutual sense.
Our limited partners will also soon include a variety
of financial investors who seek and expect superior financial returns.
