With a shift in focus by traditional Wall Street firms to large capitalization companies, as well as increased expenses to firms operating as public companies, the Investment Team of Greenwoods Capital believes there are significant opportunities in the overlooked, small cap emerging growth arena. Thus, Greenwoods specifically targets companies with annual enterprise values between $25 million and $75 million, with a focus on retail, business services, and applied technologies. We feel these companies are too large for traditional venture capital but well below the size attractive to both the buy side and sell side of Wall Street.
Greenwoods will invest in amounts of $1 million to $3 million in each targeted investment to support strategic growth initiatives, corporate restructurings and potential acquisitions. With its broad and diverse network of strategic relationships across a wide range of industries, Greenwoods has the ability to leverage its relationships into a compelling set of resources for generating investment opportunities, conducting due diligence and enabling strategic partnering opportunities, among other benefits.
The clear focus for Greenwoods is to provide growth capital combined with strategic advice to facilitate a successful growth strategy for its investment companies. As such, Greenwoods will not invest in start-ups, turnarounds, or hostile transactions.
