The Lotus Innovations Fund Raises $10 Million in the First Fund, After Being Over-Subscribed
Irvine, CA (PRWEB) April 08, 2014 -- Lotus Innovations announced today that its first Private Equity fund of $10 million was over-subscribed when it closed in the first round on April 1, 2014. The fund, located in Southern California, is unique in its approach to meeting the need for funding of early stage Information Technology (I.T) Enterprise Service companies. According to Christian Mack, Managing Director, “By leveraging a proven, proprietary investment platform that transforms the companies into Software as a Service (SaaS) based companies, Lotus Innovations is able to accelerate growth and valuations”.
The Fund demonstrates the strength of its proprietary Lotus Methodology with two successful and profitable companies that are now portfolio companies of the fund. The Lotus Methodology utilizes shared resources and embedded Private Equity management to accelerate growth and valuation. The Fund is currently reviewing other investment prospects that fit their focused, and proven model of success in B2B markets.
The Fund is particularly well-suited to the model of actively managed portfolio companies. The general partners have a long history of success in technology-related firms, as well as bringing expertise in Operations, Strategy, Marketing, Finance, Sales and Service Delivery to the Fund.
The Lotus Innovations Fund is backed by a strong Executive Advisory Board that brings additional talent in the fields of Commercial Banking, M&A, Investment Banking and Private Equity. “After working with Christian Mack over the past eight years as his banker and advisor, I welcome the opportunity to be a part of this exciting new venture as a personal investor and member of the Strategic Board and Advisory Committee,” said Ivo Tjan, Chairman, and CEO of CommerceWest Bank.
