Investment Philosophy
Our investment philosophy is built on the fundamentals of:
- Demonstrable Potential
- Value Creation
- Alignment of Interest
- Risk Mitigation
As such, we approach each opportunity with no preconceived notions regarding the appropriate financial facility structure or engagement strategy. Our goal is to not only deliver the requisite financial resources to realize the value of IP, but also maximize the ultimate value captured. Our versatile team has the necessary financial & technical acumen, IP licensing/litigation experience and risk assessment ability to develop or enhance the IP engagement strategy.
Engagement
Our process begins with a preliminary review of the IP and presents opportunity for participation to effectively quantify the inherent value of the opportunity.
A unique financial participation structure is then crafted to best align the interests of all participants. We entertain investments in all phases of the asset lifecycle, in any number of participation formats including:
- Partial Contingency Fee Arrangements
- Out of Pocket Cost Provision
- Full or Partial Asset/Portfolio Monetization
- Capital Infusion into Late Stage Licensing Programs
Diligence
With a suitable financial structure in place PSI commences a rigorous diligence process. Drawing on our own expertise as well as an extensive network of outside legal counsel, technical and damage experts, our diligence serves to fully vet the scope of the asset, the opportunity risk/return matrix and pertinent engagement strategy.
At the conclusion of our diligence each opportunity will have been fully examined for:
- Ownership and Title
- Industry Practice/Market Presence for the Technology
- Demonstrable Value
- Value Potential for the Licensing Program
- Potential Counterclaims, Invalidity & Enforceability
- Probability of Success- Risks & Returns
- Recommended Strategy for engagement
By examining each investment opportunity in the context of these guidelines PSI Capital Management is able to craft engagements to maximize stakeholder value. Our diligence typically requires 60 days.
Execution
IP engagements are dynamic. Execution strategies require active management and nimble strategies that adapt as the process evolves. In striving to achieve the ultimate goals of our partnerships and honor our value creation commitment, PSI Capital Management continues to make our management and experiential expertise available to all stake holders throughout the initiative. From strategic decision making to transactional support, our partners can count on a sustained commitment of our intellectual and human capital.
