We will work hands-on with them to build a long-term relationship in order to scale the business through a strong go-to-market strategy supported by Reply’s network. We will leverage the strong technological DNA and the deep expertise of Reply in the Internet of Things and applications.
We are searching for outstanding teams in early-stage companies with a clear understanding of their customer needs, a strong technical vision and the ability to execute. We are concentrating on IoT enabled businesses.
Our geographical focus is mainly Europe and the USA. We will look at outstanding companies from other continents if the opportunity arises.
No, your team does not need to relocate to London. However, we do offer desks in London for doing business in the UK and work with us face-to-face.
There are different definitions out there, in our case we invest in solutions involving dynamics such as sensing, filtering data, acting on context, in significant markets that include:
We pay special attention to the quality of the team and the size and growth of the target market. It is also important that the product has the ability to solve the needs of a large customer base; is significantly differentiated from other products or services in the market and that the company has the ability to defend the value and uniqueness of its products or services.
Each deal has unique characteristics. In general, we tend to invest at early-stage, for a minority stake in the company.
We provide tailored entrepreneurial and managerial support for twelve months and go-to-market capabilities that extend beyond the tailored twelve-month support. For more details see the about us section of the website.
