About
Wanaka Capital Partners is focused on Mid-tech companies, innovative companies with less market and technology risks. We seek innovations for non-technology sectors, mostly targeting greater productivity within existing systems and processes. We define a company as Mid Tech if it answers all three of the following criteria: The customers of the company's products are not technology companies themselves. We also exclude companies that develop products for technologists within non-tech customers. This criterion, for example, excludes telecom equipment and semiconductor companies, but also companies that develop enterprise software. Mid-Tech companies are less dependant on rapid technological developments. Thus they face a more predictable customer market. The development costs in order to bring its first market-ready product to market should be less than $5m. This benchmark figure implies that the development of the new product is not very labor intensive. An associated benefit is a shorter development time. The product or system contains innovative technologies and/or protected intellectual property. This, together with the second criterion above, implies the companies must have a real breakthrough concept in order to succeed. We seek companies with outstanding management team999s who can build their company on their own, and then help them as much as we can.
