1.  Technology Industry Experience

Lotus founders, board of directors, and strategic advisors bring over six decades of experience in telecommunications, high-tech, finance, sales, and operations to help grow their portfolio companies and build wealth for their investors.  This experience is invaluable to companies looking to forge industry partnerships, court new customers, and make strategic decisions based on the needs they are trying to fill in their industry.

2.  Shared Services

One of biggest distractions for companies in growth mode can be core business operations.  As customers are added and employees come on board, complexities compound.  Better networking and storage support is required.  Finance and accounting requirements multiply.  Attracting and keeping top talent is a concern.  Building brand and a pipeline becomes critical.  It’s enough distraction to derail even the best companies.

Lotus Innovations founders experienced this type of distraction as they scaled their own businesses.  As a result, they decided to build operational and infrastructure support into the Lotus Innovations model.  From acquisition through exit, a team of experts in the fields of Finance, HR, IT, Legal and Marketing works with our clients to build their business and their customer base.  Lotus Shared Services helps clients move from distracted to dynamic.

3.  Embedded Leadership

Lotus Innovations aligns an executive from the fund with the portfolio company.  Because the leadership team at Lotus has depth of leadership across operations, sales, marketing, banking and finance, it can provide guidance to the portfolio management team on matters such as channel strategy, third-party partnering, revenue growth, procurement, and leadership development. 

4.  Transformation

The Lotus Innovations basic strategy is to provide funding and resources to help companies realize their full potential by assisting them bridge from an under-valued or under-performing organization to a growing, thriving business.  The infrastructure support provided through shared services and embedded leadership together with operational guidance and support ultimately is aimed at helping the business get to the next level of growth.
