Incyte Incubator

INCYTE INCUBATOR

From its investment history, Incyte has at times found early stage companies that exhibit the six investment criteria that Incyte has employed in all its buyouts and later stage investing. In these instances, Incyte has invested as a sizable investor in active and ongoing collaboration directly with the founders.  Incyte does not invest as an LP in passive funding rounds other than as above.

These early stage opportunities typically exhibit the following characteristics:

COMPANIES FOUNDED WITH MINIMAL CAPITAL

These early stage business models have the ability to achieve break-even and positive cash flow performance at very low levels of revenues and their cost structures are typically of a highly variable nature or they have relatively low fixed capital requirements.

HIGH CASH FLOW MARGINS

In most cases, these early stage companies achieve positive cash flow performance and have high gross profit margins.

STEP FUNCTION GROWTH CAPABILITY

Unlike most venture capital backed companies which rely on very significant investment to achieve market dominance or critical mass in size necessary to achieve positive cash performance and profitability, Incyte Incubator targeted, early stage companies are able to incrementally deploy capital to achieve growth and market share while having the ability to reset spending to re-achieve positive cash performance and profitability at higher targeted levels of revenues. We call this step function growth capability and businesses that exhibit this characteristic are of particular interest as investment opportunities for Incyte.

PLEASE CONTACT US

We welcome earlier stage company founders and Board members who feel that their businesses exhibit these characteristics to contact us as we believe Incyte could be an exceptionally good fit and an excellent financial partner to be considered for investment capital by founders in their growth and capital deployment initiatives, including incremental acquisitions.
