Direct Investments
Strategic Growth Capital
Fuselier and Co. invests its own capital into emerging companies that have strong growth prospects. The firm’s investment discipline focuses on earlier stage businesses with a proprietary concept or technology, a unique market niche, or a particularly promising convergence of technology and management expertise. These investments range from start-up ventures to development stage businesses that may be constrained by limited resources.
Beyond the investment of its capital, Fuselier and Co. endeavors to add value to its portfolio investments by providing management with strategic guidance and the advice needed to meet the demands of growth. By focusing its experience and industry knowledge and investing the firm’s capital, Fuselier and Co. differentiates itself from other firms. In most cases, the firm holds one or more seats on the boards of its portfolio companies and takes an active role in developing corporate strategy.
Fuselier and Co. also assists its portfolio companies in raising later stage growth capital. Utilizing its experience and contacts in the industry, the firm has a record of attracting quality financial and strategic investors to later stage investments in its portfolio firms.
Fuselier and Co. often makes an early commitment to helping build management infrastructure. This process may include advice in the recruitment of senior management, which can implement a company’s strategic plan. In other cases, we have created new management teams to capitalize on a specific new business opportunity, by actually conceptualizing and founding new companies.
Fuselier and Co. will continue to pursue additional investments in enterprises that possess superior qualities, that are led by experienced, capable management, and which offer the potential for high returns.
