VentureX Investment Approach

What to Buy?

We start by building a strong thesis around a company using our proprietary LMVT framework. This framework allows us to identify businesses with solid fundamentals, scalable models, and a clear path to long-term value creation.

When to Buy?

Timing is critical, and we strive to enter as early as possible, often at the pre-IPO or IPO stage. This ensures we position ourselves at the beginning of a company’s growth curve, maximizing the potential for returns as the business scales.

When to Exit?

Our exit strategy is guided by clear principles. We step away when growth expectations are not met, when valuations become unreasonably high, or when corporate governance issues arise. These criteria help us preserve capital and maintain discipline in our investment decisions.
