Cava Capital

Cava will specifically seek out opportunities in Mobile, Commerce, Software as a Service (“SaaS”), Marketplaces and Digital Marketing that capitalize on the following investment themes: ● The rise and importance of the consumer and the effect on marketers; ● The maturing of the millennial generation; ● The shared economy; and ● The equal importance of brand and technology in building great sustainable companies. We invest in both established companies that have achieved early traction, are primed for scale and are ready to build their brand to maximize growth, as well as development stage companies with a product or a process that fits the Fund’s investment themes. Cava believes that these companies stand to benefit from infusions of capital into areas of the business that are the “revenue drivers,” such as sales, marketing and business development. Cava believes that investments in these areas make a meaningful difference for entrepreneurs at the development and early growth stages by helping to engage customers, increase brand equity and drive revenue, and provide the best risk/reward paradigm, driving the investment thesis of early-stage growth investing. Cava II will lead or act as a significant participant in most investment opportunities and to use its industry, management and financial expertise to actively build companies and maximize long-term success and risk-adjusted rates of return.
