What Are Investors Looking For?

Kathryne Carr of Virginia-based Tall Oaks Capital Partners shares her thoughts on what investors are seeking when doing deals.

As a life science investor, Carr wants to see "technology that provides solutions to unmet needs in the marketplace or simplified solutions that enable resolution of complex problems."

With a focus on the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, Tall Oaks has invested in several Research Triangle area companies.

In particular, Carr says the Triangle "is home to a strong, innovative community of individuals and research institutions. The combination of the culture of innovation and entrepreneurial spirit in the region has given rise to a productive business climate."
