Venture Technology Partners Limited partners with emerging market technology companies (mainly software companies); technology focused Venture Capital firms, Private Equity firms and Family Offices to offer their technology investments and emerging market technology companies a unique global distribution, development and international commercialization platform for Intellectual Property.
There are many regulatory, structuring, technological, distribution and legal hurdles when trying to scale a technology business and navigating these successfully requires extensive experience, management time and a funding.
We partner with technology companies to position, develop and scale their intellectual property investments for global funding, and global expansion in order to maximum return on exit, based on a unique risk sharing model. We invest our time and money in navigating this complex landscape and we do so with top legal and advisory firms from around the world and are at all times completely financially aligned with your success.
We invest for the long term and we ensure that we align with the goals of each of our portfolio companies to ensure that we’re all working towards the same goals.
Our focus is on assisting emerging market companies with Intellectual Property with global appeal in setting up global distribution structures for specific or multiple global markets in a regulatory compliant and efficient manner and then enhancing current Intellectual Property through further offshore development to prepare for funding, scaling and ultimately exit.
This becomes possible operationally due to our partners and service providers in major cities across the globe, along with our in-depth knowledge of venture capital, software development, structuring, regulatory frameworks and global distribution.
Our clients benefit from a combination of international structuring, compliance regulation and regulatory expertise, and a deep knowledge of the technology industry, distribution and sales as well as funding and exit mechanisms
Venture Technology Partners was originally the result of a joint venture between Cibecs and an international company.
Cibecs
The tech entrepreneurs behind Cibecs faced the uphill battle of trying to raise international venture capital and scaling their business globally from South Africa. Having successfully raised investment twice, once from a local funder and again from SAP Co-founder Prof. Dr. Hasso Plattner and setting up global structures, building an international product and business they had experienced firsthand the huge amount of time, money and exhaustive list of legal, tax, IP, structuring, audit, etc. advisors required to navigate the complex regulatory, banking, financial, venture capital and technology environments locally and globally.
Operating a data security business, where credibility is everything and having partnered with major global names, the team behind Cibecs have always believed in having the best advisory teams and running a business that is 100% compliant and scalable. Cibecs has successfully grown into an internationally recognized security company with customers and partners across the globe.
The Principles of Cibecs are also active in the VC space themselves and having a solid understanding of the mistakes most emerging market entrepreneurs make in trying to navigate this complex space. Cibecs partnered with GMG, who assisted Cibecs in building their international business and launching Venture Technology Partners to help high growth tech businesses scale globally.
“The reality is that creating a company in the US or Europe or on an island somewhere is something that you can in many cases do yourself online. Operating a global tech business in the right jurisdiction to ensure that you’re attractive to investors and buyers and making sure you do so in a manner that is compliant as far as tax, IP, statutory and effective management and control requirements atre concerned. In addition you need to remain compliant internationally, as every country in the world continually changes their requirements and regulations. This is a prohibitively expensive and time consuming exercise..
“You stop being a tech CEO and end up becoming a regulatory and compliance manager.” Richard Dewing – CEO Cibecs
We identified incredible opportunity in the technology arena by supporting emerging market entrepreneurs and their requirements to distribute their products globally, expand their businesses internationally, raise finance from international VC’s, where the valuations are often much better, and where they can be more attractive to international buyers on exit.
We also understand the prohibitive costs and time required to achieve this and Venture Technology Partners was borne to fill this void and partner with these entrepreneurs to help them scale their businesses internationally. We partner on a risk bases and contribute significant resources and funding to assist in successfully navigating the path to success for each of our carefully selected portfolio companies.
