Investment approach
- Thesis
- Savant partners with early stage ventures where it recognises the value in the venture’s prospects, teams capabilities and potential commercial product offering. While Savant may have multiple stages to its approach, some may partner with Savant further along the start up life cycle than others. Savant systematically de-risks these partnered ventures and gets them ready for commercialisation and investment.Source (opens in a new tab)
