The profile of a likely investment for KI is as follows:

• An innovation-based, relatively new organization, or a middle-market company trying to launch an innovative product or service that is distinctly different from the existing business model.
  
  
• An existing company that has not realized its full potential, and is open to being innovative but needs help in doing so.
  
  
• A company interested in obtaining both expertise and financing, not just financing.
  
  
• A company interested in outright sale of all assets, and which can support our Mission.
  
  
• Principals willing to invest time and energy to fully engage with KI, in open dialogue and due diligence.
  
  
• Owners who are intent upon doing what is right for their own business.
  
  
• Owners with a time horizon of interest and investment in the entity that can be considered "long-term", i.e., desirous of building something of lasting value, whether or not the principals continue with that entity.
  
  
• Principals with a set of egos that can accept constructive advice and work collaboratively with both inside and outside team members.
  
  
• Principals who are capable of being candid and forthcoming, when the relationship of trust is established.
  
  
• Owners willing to attend a KI Engagement and complete post-presentation due diligence as may be indicated.
