Tekbrokers VENTURES puts patient, intelligent and experienced capital to work.
TKV Investment Strategy
Investment strategies include finding synergies among portfolio companies to increase market penetration, to provide multiple product offerings and to maximize cross-selling opportunities of compatible products and services. For Mr. Anderson, this continues to be a key theme, investing in only one company in a defined space with new and innovative ideas for new or existing businesses. TKV provides expert advice to encourage the success of each venture.
