In order to be considered, companies must meet specific criteria set by Giano Capital. These criteria include having an exceptional founder team that has achieved a minimum of €30 million in revenues, an annual growth rate of at least 30%, and a clear roadmap to profitability and positive cash flow. Additionally, the companies should be supported by top-tier investors and possess the financial resources necessary to pursue an exit strategy within two to four years.
Giano Capital emphasizes that their stringent criteria are crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it enables them to limit the duration of their fund-life to five years, which is half the time typically seen in traditional 10-year funds. Secondly, this approach allows them to target an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) greater than 25%.
