Having a wide range of investors means we need and can look at a wide range of opportunities. However, the nature of Angel investment is that a greater % of attractive opportunities will fall into the High Risk, technology bias category.

Angels will always prefer an opportunity where there is a proprietary element that cannot be easily copyable or can be protected, where the market it is entering is relatively new or a mature sector looking for change.

It maybe an MBO, in a traditional sector, a wholly technology opportunity or a spin out from one of the Universities, whatever the stage of development Minerva will look for key characteristics that will make it an attractive investment opportunity.
