We Back the Team

                 Management teams must be fully rounded in order to be
                 able to scale rapidly.


                 We often see teams where the CEO is expected to
                 run the business and also act as sales director and ops                    At Praetura, we prefer to
                 director.  We also see investment opportunities that do                invest more capital to develop
                 not anticipate forming a viable finance function post
                 investment.
                                                                                             the team, as opposed to
                 In these scenarios, we will identify the required roles,                    backing a team with less
                 and if we are to proceed, we will ensure that sufficient
                 investment is injected to allow these roles to be filled                money where critical roles are
                 rapidly post investment.
                                                                                                          unfilled.

                 Where we have not done this, the business inevitably
                 struggled to meet its potential.
