The life cycle of an entrepreneurial venture goes through three phases: design and test, build and refine, grow and harvest. At each of the phases, the Flagship Ventures team deploys experienced and focused resources, as appropriate, to maximize the potential value of the venture. The synergy between venture investment and venture creation is a key element of our strategy.
Venture Investment
- We back and help build exceptional teams focused on significant commercial opportunities enabled by market discontinuities or technology breakthroughs.
- We generally serve as lead investor, and over 80% of our investments are seed or first round.
- Our initial investment may range between $250 thousand and $5 million with a typical investment of $2.5 million to $4 million.
- We may invest up to $15-20 million during the life of a venture and typically form a syndicate that includes other leading venture firms.
Venture Creation
- Flagship Ventures has deep experience and a successful track record in the design and test phase of a new entrepreneurial venture.
- We focus on creating new ventures that are first in their category, typically incorporating significant intellectual property and potential for long-term value creation.
- Through an intense entrepreneurial seed phase, we design and validate a suitable business model for the opportunity and assemble the initial management team and advisors who can lead the new venture into the next phase and beyond.
