Cross Atlantic invests in companies with defensible or patentable technology and serious differentiation in large and growing markets. The portfolio itself is constantly evolving, and currently includes a diverse array of early and later stage companies focusing on information technology, enterprise software, telecommunications, and other enabling innovations.

XACP Offers Companies:

Cross Atlantic Capital Partners brings an immense amount of insight, an engaged approach, and allied networks not found elsewhere. Cross Atlantic Capital Partners offers a deep level of insights to its entrepreneurs and portfolio companies. Cross Atlantic's Managing Directors and Investment Professionals bring an engaged approach to working with its portfolio companies; for instance, Managing Directors bring great value at the Board level and provide guidance and assistance in global commercialization. Finally, Cross Atlantic offers its portfolio companies and entrepreneurs an allied network of potential customers, strategic partners, and human capital.

Globalization and Commercialization. Cross Atlantic maintains an extensive network of financiers and technologists in the United States, Ireland, and the U.K. These resources allow our portfolio companies to make optimal strategic choices on a global basis, accelerate sales cycles, and eliminate geographical growth boundaries.

Recruiting. Cross Atlantic's allied networks support its portfolio companies by enabling them to tap into talent pools on both sides of the Atlantic. As a result, entrepreneurs and portfolio companies can grow faster, find talent easier, and increase the likelihood of finding the best candidates for key positions.

Strategic and Tactical Management Assistance. The speed and extent to which a company can develop into a sustainable, successful company determines its value to stakeholders. Cross Atlantic does everything it can to contribute to this growth process. This includes assistance with strategic planning, brand and product development, merger and acquisition advice, access to capital markets, and personnel recruitment, training, and retention.

Investment Process. We realize that entrepreneurs, not venture capitalists, build companies. Our goal is to be a useful and comprehensive resource in that process. While each situation is unique, we have established a general set of criteria for the evaluation of entrepreneurs and their technologies. In considering a possible investment, Cross Atlantic looks at:

Company Management. We are looking for driven, visionary individuals who create and leverage proprietary technologies and/or market strategies and niches.

Market. We prefer to invest in definable, specific, rapidly growing markets and in companies with sustainable competitive advantages in those markets. A business plan should identify both the size and attractiveness of the prospective market, as well as the company’s specific strategic advantages.

Strategy. Management should have a clearly defined business development strategy. In particular, we evaluate the differentiation of the growth strategy from existing and future competition as well as the strategy’s ability to enable scalability. Our mission is to assist in the development of sustainable and defensible market leaders, and we are willing to underscore management’s strategy and tactics with our own resources.

Revenue or Business Model. Entrepreneurs must be able to articulate the path to value creation. We want to enable the growth of large, sustainable companies, as opposed to financially engineering quick "flips." Companies should be able to define a path to achieve at least $50 million in revenue and/or a $200 million liquid valuation within three to five years.

Throughout the investment process, we utilize specialists in our internal and external resources to lend the maximum expertise. Our process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, and culminates with a unanimous vote of approval of our investment committee members. Meanwhile, we expect entrepreneurs to carefully evaluate Cross Atlantic. Cross Atlantic’s decision to invest marks the beginning of a long-term relationship, one which must be made in partnership.
