Anchored in the entrepreneurial roots of its founder, Distinction Capital seeks to help the next generation of entrepreneurs grow their start-ups to create the leaders of tomorrow's industries. We are looking for founders and innovative companies whose technology has the potential for widespread adoption.
Rather than restricting the scope of our investments by development stage or sector, we prefer to support entrepreneurs and projects in which we believe and to get fully involved in them.
In addition, Distinction Capital's structure allows us to invest without a pre-determined exit horizon and to make subsequent investments when deemed necessary.
