Platform Principles
Boab Venture Platform has a proven track record in helping portfolio companies breakthrough to the next level of growth with an investment uplift of 200%+.
We focus on working directly with companies to improve revenue and/or valuation via delivered services, and guided by the following principles:
Don’t waste time:
Founders are time poor and whatever service or mentoring which doesn’t provide value is cut. We focus only on initiatives that help companies achieve their goals, which is usually improving revenue or raising the next round of investment.
Delivered services:
We focus on delivered services that help to put time back in the day of founders.
Mentoring:
Mentoring can be amazing, but equally the wrong mentors can ruin a company or at best, waste their time. Boab is careful to only provide trusted and proven mentors from our network of strategy, financial, sales, marketing and technical experts.
