HERE'S HOW WE DO IT
Pramati has institutionalized its corporate incubator strategy under a multi-stage model by in-graining learning from its ventures. The model gathers speed and increased success by building on collective experience—past and present—inside the company. It gets better at identifying an idea that fits a hot market opportunity.
THE IDEA
Ideas emerge from the market and our customers experiences. They often sprout at the intersection of technologies where we spot unmet needs, beyond the scope of today's solutions .
VENTURE
Receives seed capital, a handpicked team, and technology infrastructure and software stack. Gains access to expertise in cloud, data, AI and other areas of institutional competence.
LAUNCH
When a business unit gains sufficient market traction – typically with early-stage customers – it is spun off as an independent entity. Critical technical staff form the founding team.
GROWTH
As the venture grows, it hires senior executives, typically in marketing and sales. They leverage common organization services, and may independently raise additional capital.
AUTONOMY
Venture matures to become autonomous and charts its growth. Early track record and market presence generate inquiries, while prior deal experience inside Pramati boosts chances.
WHY IT WORKS
The founders of Pramati have consistently followed a homegrown investment philosophy that has four cornerstones.
Affordable Loss Investment
Traditional strategy focuses on maximizing returns by selecting optimal strategies. Affordable Loss Strategy starts with the question: how much are you willing to lose?
Independent Venture Faring
The benefits of having independent ventures are many. It instills pride in the teams, sets a goal for the in-house entrepreneurs, who have a charter to succeed with their idea.
Common Services Leverage
Institutionalizing its corporate incubator strategy means turning your common services across the company into a solid infrastructure for startup ventures.
Attractive Valuation
In-house startups are optimized for buyer success, external valuation, and investment, by having a clean cap table, single majority owner, and fast decision making capability.
TRANSACTIONS
Pramati invests in technologies that are at the growth stage, combining products and services to develop entrepreneurial models. We also invest in fostering an ecosystem in which new ideas emerge and grow, often inorganically. Here are some of our successes.
