Investment Approach
- Lead Investor
August Capital acts as the company's lead investor. They swiftly move in on closing deals, help management evaluate and complete their next financing stages, and provide counsel on how to create the most effective board of director teams.
- Next Financing
When it comes to potential next stage financings, they sit down and discuss with management their business strategies. Together, they can clarify objectives for the next round of financing. Then, they determine what financing sources can provide the greatest market leverage.
- Companies Run their own Business
While closely connected throughout all potential investment phases, they hold fast to one core tenant which is that companies run their businesses, not August Capital.
The Team
August Capital is a partnership of equals. The entire team is involved in every investment decision.
