RELATIONSHIP PHILOSOPHY:

First and foremost, we are not just investors; we are your business partners. If we invest in your company, in reality we are investing in you and your team. Teakwood will do everything in our power to ensure that our partnership and your company are successful.

We pursue relationships where we have confidence that we can work together on a "full-disclosure" basis with uncompromising integrity. We realize that it is as much our responsibility, as it is yours, to develop and nurture a relationship based on mutual trust and respect. Therefore, we strive to have open, intellectually-honest dialogues serve as the foundation of a productive working partnership with you.

TEAKWOOD CAPITAL AS YOUR PARTNER:

We have a proven approach developed through recognizing patterns of success while working with many prosperous companies and teams over time. At the same time, we realize that every company has different needs and merits a customized approach and individual attention. As such, we are open to providing assistance wherever needed and tend to be most active in the following areas:

	Board Seat: Teakwood takes Board of Director seats in each of its investments.
	Management Team Augmentation: On an as-needed basis, we will actively assist our core management team members in assessing employee staffing needs for a business. As part of the process, we will help manage the process to locate and secure top new employee hires. Together, Teakwood's General Partners have been involved in hiring over 100 senior executives. We understand the intricacies and importance of this function.
	Business Development: Teakwood's network is your network, and we are confident that you will be enthusiastic about our personal and investor networks, which will be available to you. We accelerate the growth of your company and expend substantial effort both to develop creative business opportunities and to make valuable introductions.
	Operations: Teakwood is actively supportive of your operations. We are willing to roll up our sleeves where we can provide assistance and will provide insight where appropriate. However, we do not seek to run your business or to be active in daily operations.
	Sale of Business / Teakwood's Exit: If we invest in your business, then we will all have agreed that there will be a proper time to sell the business or for some other entity to purchase Teakwood's ownership position. These processes sometimes represent new experiences for many owners/executives and can be challenging. Together, Teakwood's General Partners have been involved in over 150 merger & acquisition transactions and financing transactions. Therefore, we know how to build companies that are attractive to potential acquirers and investors. We also know how to get the highest price when selling a business or raising additional capital, and as importantly, how to avoid the potential pitfalls. We will be by your side throughout this process, from our initial investment in your company, through the final transfer of the purchase consideration to your bank account.
