Industries

The Firm's investment professionals have broad industry knowledge and experience. They have held positions in management, finance, strategy and operations in technology, petrochemicals, energy, telecommunications and financial services. This expertise, along with industry relationships, is invaluable in all phases of the Firm's business, from deal sourcing, investment decisions, to portfolio company development.

In addition to the in-house expertise, Pound Capital also works closely with strategic partners in technology related industries and in real estate. The Firm believes that it is important to join forces with other leading industry experts to source and evaluate business opportunities. For example, in real estate, Pound Capital looks for an experienced development team that has a well conceived business plan and compelling investment strategy to exploit strong market demand and inefficiencies.
