Transatlantic Business Model Atlantic Bridge will seek superior financial returns by investing in early stage technology companies with global growth opportunities and scaling these businesses through the transatlantic business building model "Transatlantic Model". Historically Europe has not adequately funded early stage European technology companies to enable them to scale up efficiently and become global leaders. Atlantic Bridge intends to invest in and grow the best European technology companies, ensuring adequate financing while focusing on the transatlantic business building model. The Transatlantic Model is an investment approach that targets the U.S. as the second business market in which European venture-backed technology companies are scaled. The model also focuses early stage companies on the goal of an initial public offering on NASDAQ. While this goal may not be achieved, shareholder value is enhanced by having a credible public market exit alternative even in the case of a strategic trade sale. Many of the leading technology purchasers are in the US and stock market exits on NASDAQ typically achieve higher valuations and much greater liquidity. Atlantic Bridge believes that greater shareholder value is achieved by going from one European country to the United States rather than seeking growth opportunities across Europe in order to achieve market scale. The Transatlantic Model has been successfully implemented in other regions (e.g., Israel and India) of the world. Atlantic Bridge will seek to syndicate transactions with the growing number of venture capitalists developing the Transatlantic Model in Europe. The operating experience of the Partners and the Venture Partners will provide a differentiated level of support to the management of portfolio companies implement this type of business building model (e.g., networks, contacts, and historical business building experience).
