Investment Criteria

Mike Luckwell Venture Capital (MLVC) invests in a wide range of projects. Areas where it is most likely that future investments will be considered are television and the media generally.
​
Of particular interest are projects involving at least two, and preferably all three, of the following:
​
1. Television and Media
2. Digital Electronics directly related to television and media
3. The Internet and Telephony
 
Historically investments have been primarily in the UK and, to a lesser extent, the US. This trend is likely to continue although this does not totally preclude investments elsewhere.
​
In addition to providing venture capital itself MLVC co-ordinates, and works alongside, other venture capital groups and high net worth individuals to provide funding, where considered appropriate.
​
MLVC will invest only in projects where strong management is attached. In the early stages of a venture MLVC tends to take an active, rather than a passive, investor role. Growth, coupled to performance to pre-agreed budgets, tends to reduce this to a passive and diminishing role. Customarily MLVC investments involve a material shareholding in any venture and board representation. In addition MLVC has been involved in a number of successful turnarounds, corporate reconstructions, insolvency acquisitions and rescues.
