Approach
At Verne Point, we seek to accelerate and drive impact at emerging companies through capital investment, by helping create transformational deals and partnerships, and by embedding best practices and lessons learned that we've accumulated over the years, both in strategy and operations. We invest our own capital, help companies attract sources of funds, and provide advisory services.
Our target companies and partners are from the following segments:
Transportation
Hospitality
Travel and Tourism
Food and Beverage
Sports and Exercise
Experiences & Live Events
Logistics and enabling technologies
Our passion relates to movement - getting people and things to places and experiences where we play, eat, laugh, learn and work.
We prefer to work with companies in our target segment that are either developing enabling technologies or companies that might be able to achieve significant scale as a result of accessing innovative technologies. Ideally, the tech we invest in and support can work across our portfolio of investments.
When you work with us, you will find expertise in:
- Scaling operating factories for high speed deployment/adaptation
- Business model adaptation to locate highly profitable and sustainable markets
- How to attract and retain A player talent
- Smart decision making (through data and experimentation)
- A valuable network for transformational partnerships and fundraising
- Algorithmic marketing at scale
- Innovative operating techniques used by the world's best companies
- Other invaluable best practices and lessons learned to help drive scale
Our partners are the leaders who are building great companies from small to giant, and also our investment partners seeking exciting opportunities for learning and financial return. We aim to drive returns and value for all our partners.
When we deploy our own capital, we don't have a timetable for exit. It takes time to build great companies, and we have the patience to make sure that happens. We believe in transparency at all times, and we believe that great ideas are usually supported by experimentation and data, they don't come top down through pressure. You will find us your ideal long-term partner.
