Investment Criteria

At Constant Innovation, our goal is to identify and back technology businesses with a competitive advantage. We provide funding and management expertise to accelerate our investment partners’ performance.

We are looking for entrepreneurs that are solving real problems. We like businesses that have a competitive advantage and that are filling a void in a big market. We like businesses even more if they are generating revenue and have customers who have confirmed that there is demand for the business’s product or service.

We add the most value when a business’s management has some skin in the game, is prepared to give us a significant stake in the equity of the business and is willing to accept outside support.

Privacy and Confidentiality

We recognise the importance of the confidentiality of the information you submit to us. While it is not our policy to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before receiving an application, we may be prepared to sign if we proceed in further detail. Our reputation and our business depend on our professionalism and all information received is regarded as highly confidential.
