Leadership
We Back Tomorrow’s Leaders.
We help build scalable companies that disruptively change markets. Our team has invested globally in more than 100 companies, across multiple technology sectors and at all stages.
We work with both entrepreneurs and investors to create the next industry leader.
Our team has a deep heritage in business strategy, entrepreneurship and operations. Coral knows building a great company is a long — and often painful— process, but we have been instrumental in effecting successful changes for companies, even with a multitude of variables.
The only way we will be successful is if you are successful. Things will go wrong, and when they do, we extend advice. But most importantly, we work with you, as a team, to address the challenges.
It is paramount to strive for parallel interest between a company’s founders, its management team, and the investor syndicate. We prefer simple capital structures; with balanced, small, agile and insightful Boards of Directors representing all stakeholders with equal tenacity.
At Coral, we will only invest when your entrepreneurial team and ours share a vision. Our assignment is to help you win. We do so by keeping abreast of the marketplace and applying our imagination, experience, professional network and capital to your business.
Coral employs a comprehensive set of investment processes and tools designed to help us evaluate, scale and monetize innovations in all three of our business disciplines — Venture Capital, Holistic Solutions, and Transformations.
Our Investment Processes are unique and highly disciplined. Key phases include proactive Deal Flow Generation, a thorough Due Diligence Process (with generic, and fund-specific criteria), a systematic Enterprise Building Model and a structured Risk Management Process.
These Investment Processes and tools enable us to modulate our enthusiasm for our portfolio companies with measurable and responsible control systems.
PROACTIVE ENGAGEMENT
—Steve Gordon, CEO, Magnet Communications
The Coral Group began as a classic venture capital group. For more than 20 years, we have managed multiple types of funds, including early-stage, late-stage, regional and strategic.
In 2007, we built upon our successes and professional network by adding our second discipline, the Holistic Solutions group. And today, the Coral Group has evolved – adding Transformation platforms – combining Venture Capital and Holistic Solutions to build a revolutionary new offering: solving problems and transforming entire companies.
Our three capabilities are highly synergistic. Each discipline stands alone, but they all work seamlessly together.
Our team has a proven track record of identifying emerging markets, scaling companies, developing business model innovation and culture change projects, creating holistic solutions and transforming companies. Our managing directors have backgrounds as founders, visionaries, operators, consultants and investors — and we bring these experiences, networks and expertise to elevate each company in which we engage.
