The Principals believe that several important technological trends are accelerating and colliding which present lucrative opportunities for new venture creation. FATV has deep industry expertise and investment experience in these sectors and believes that they will continue to be attractive areas to invest early stage venture capital over the next decade: 
                          - Energy and Clean Technology;
                          - Personal Technology;
                          - Information Technology; and 
                          - Product Breakthroughs Enabled by Novel Materials.

We seek early and expansion stage companies for investment that enable us to add value to the companies we invest in. We make new investments of $3 to $8 million, and target investing up to $15 million in any one opportunity. We focus on investing in Technology and Energy Technology companies. We lead most investments in which we participate, and have the ability to bring in additional investors to ensure a company is backed by an investor team with adequate funding resources for the future. We take an active role in the growth of our portfolio companies and typically serve on the Board of Directors.

Our primary focus is companies founded on technological breakthroughs or innovative business models. We strive to partner with entrepreneurs poised to change the rules of competition or even spawn a new demand for a product or service. We select portfolio companies that are operating in dynamic environments in which there is no established, dominant competitor or where there exists rapidly changing rules of competition that make a dominant competitor vulnerable.
