Investment Process. Initially, we wish to review an executive summary of the business plan, preferably including a detailed description of the technology and the intellectual property position. In case we proceed to the second stage, we request a complete business plan. Business plans should be submitted in both electronic form and hard copy to one of the partners. For entrepreneurs without business plans, please send a two-page summary of the technology and a complete description of the patent position. As seed investors, we are willing to participate in the formation of new companies and to assist in the set-up process. After a consensus decision to move forward has been made, an extended meeting will be held with the management/entrepreneur to examine the details of the opportunity. Given the breadth and depth of early-stage expertise on the Mara team, decisions to invest can be made expeditiously, saving companies and entrepreneurs valuable time and money.
