Investment Process
In DTU Symbion Innovation, we go through the investment process described below when we evaluate an investment project.
Phase 1: Screening
In the screening phase, we evaluate how your investment proposal complies with our strategic investment criteria and if your preliminary business plan is plausible. If affirmative, we will allocate the resources to evaluate the proposal more closely.
Phase 2: Evaluation
If our preliminary overall assessment of the investment project is positive, we will expand our knowledge in the area with the assistance of external experts and analyze the technology, market, profitability and other aspects relevant for a future investment.
Phase 3: Basis for Decision
In this phase, we look at barriers and possibilities for the investment and give you a preliminary evaluation. The evaluation will be written in a report which will form the basis of a preliminary investment decision subject to a due diligence investigation.
Phase 4: Due Diligence
In the due diligence phase, we will try wherever possible to verify the information given in order to identify and solve essential conditions before an actual investment process can begin. At this phase we involve supplementary documents, experts and statements from a third party. If the investment possibility still looks interesting, we will prepare a recommendation for investment.
Phase 5: Investment Decision
In the final phase our Investment Directors approves the investment in a company.
