AAV – The Advantages
We combine a high quality sourcing approach with a fundamental understanding of the underlying technology behind the start-up and how they can be supported and commercially sold. The high-quality sourcing approach attempts to ensure that the very best minds, teams and ideas are sourced by AAV and, as it is a highly selective process, the resources and commercial networks of AAE are optimally distributed.
Business development and boasting an exceptional track record are huge factors for entrepreneurs. Business development gets you your first client, your next financier, potentially your future acquirer or a good investment banker for an IPO. As the parent company, AAE will ensure the business development side is taken care of during the early stages of negotiating and ultimately integrating the start-up technology into the AAE client base.
