At Stowbridge Partners we set out to deliver superior returns with a simple set of convictions that serve as our guiding principles.

Our convictions are based on our experience and have served us well in the past.  We believe they are critical to success in the region.

Growth is not just about money.

Early stage investing is about "heavy lifting" both for the entrepreneur and the venture capitalist - especially outside the U.S.  We see our involvement as long term commitments - like a marriage - and work to deliver connections, know-how, industry insights, executive placement and other critical elements that usually define success for a start-up or growth stage company.

Innovation is the only competitive advantage.

Traditional advantages of size, cost, location are less and less meaningful.  Innovation is the only competitive advantage regardless of your industry, product or service.  First and foremost, we are looking for innovation.  And we are practicing what we preach in finding innovative ways to deliver value to our investors.

Risk-taking is a return enhancing proposition.
Everyone knows that higher risk should be rewarded with higher returns.  Everyone also know that is not always the case.  Stowbridge Partners views risk as a critical element of enhancing returns and employs innovative (and proprietary) systems to ensure world class portfolio risk management.  It helps that we have a Ph.D. in this business.

Local presence and market knowledge is critical for consistent success.
Innovation is going worldwide.  We believe Venture Capital needs to follow on a global scale.  Our local presence ensures our ability to act quickly and decisively to help our portfolio companies.  Our entrepreneurs and co-investors know that they will be working with people they can rely on daily - face to face.
