Viola Private Equity looks for companies that have high potential in large global markets and are distinguished by:
- Strong product differentiation
- Potential for category leadership
- Clear competitive technological advantages that create a high entry barrier to competitors
- Established and growing revenue base with profit visibility
- Attractive investment terms and significant exit opportunity
- World class management teams
The Fund intends to pursue targets that answer the following criteria:
Technology first – The strengths of our team and the Viola Group ecosystem led us to focus on the technology sector. The Israeli technology sector is lacking an investment vehicle that is focused on technology growth capital and buyout. With time to exit lengthening, there is a strong need for an investment vehicle post-VC and pre IPO.
Other sectors – Viola Private Equity may choose to pursue promising, strategic investments outside the technology sector. In these instances, we will be looking for target companies with potential for high global growth that stand to benefit from the Fund’s core competencies, alliances and ecosystem, and are in line with our overall strategy.
