COMPANY PROFILE
Litmus Equity exists to make a positive difference in people’s lives by commercialising companies that are solving society’s most significant issues and delivering exceptional investor returns.
Founded by a team with decades of investment management and private equity experience, Litmus Equity exists to make a positive difference to people’s lives by commercialising companies that are solving the most significant issues facing society and by delivering exceptional investor returns.
We all know that scientific discoveries hold the key to solving some of these issues. But unfortunately, many of these breakthroughs never make it out of the lab and into commercially successful businesses where they can do the most good.
We believe that by supporting these businesses, we can help to accelerate positive change and make a real impact on the issues that matter most
What we do
Our emphasis is on active management which seeks out undervalued companies and, where appropriate, high-value impact investing, which has the potential to create the best returns. We have some key investment aspects that we seek out in every potential investment to reduce the risk to investors;
*There must be no science risk, the science behind the core technology has to have been proven, there is no more research
*There is a seasoned and experienced management team behind the defined pathway to revenues
*There is a large target market for the products/services
*The technology is protected, and it is difficult to copy
We believe that the application of human skill, knowledge, and experience to the process of investment selection and monitoring, adds significant value to investors.
Litmus Equity will only target investment into private companies where we look to find high-tech businesses with scaleable, highly innovative, and often disruptive technology.
Our approach to investing is centered around three unstoppable trends that we believe will shape the future of our planet. They are:
Changing values and behaviours
Climate change and resource scarcity
Shifting demographics and improving quality of life
Innovation to Sustainability
We’ll help you to achieve sustainable growth and development through technological innovation and productivity, leading to the sustainable growth and development of a company, an industry – and the nation.
Where to Focus for Higher Return Investments
With these occurring trends in mind, we believe we should focus our investment attention on companies in the following industries
Health and Wellness
Predictive and preventative healthcare
Therapeutics, devices and diagnostics
Medical Infrastructure and service delivery
Genetics
Sustainable mining
OUR ADVANTAGE
- Professional and reliable local team: we rely on our Australian local team in various industries to source, assess and manage investment projects.
- A rich hi-tech project database: We can source many hi-tech projects which have Intellectual Property based on our relationship with the Australian Department of Industry, Innovation, and Science, a number of research centers, and patent management companies.
- Experience: the average working experience of the team is 30 years.
- Active management: There are many causes of failure to turning innovations into profitable businesses. We are among a few investment management companies in the world being able to ACTIVELY manage hi-tech companies, instead of making passive investment. Compared to traditional investors who would take a non-executive director and being updated about the company’s progress each quarter, we will embed Senior project managers will be embedded Sales Directors to investees to be in charge of the sales and profitability of the project companies. Innovation should also be market / sales – oriented.
