HCP looks to invest in companies working on platform or “core” technologies that are revolutionary as opposed to evolutionary. We want technologies that contribute improvements such as efficacy, efficiency, speed, power, usage and cost. Investment opportunities related to such advances frequently have both high barriers to entry as well as the potential to have a significant impact on additional markets.

We evaluate a company for investment based on the following criteria:

• Seasoned management team with proven track record in their market

• Large market with strong growth potential

• Significant market need

• Scalable business model with significant recurring revenue potential

• Opportunity to generate substantial and sustainable operating profit

• Strong intellectual property position

• Expedited regulatory approval and/or market launch
