Brook Venture Partners provides venture capital and subordinated debt to expansion stage companies seeking $1 million to $5 million in financing. We believe it is critical to invest in industries where we have substantial experience. Our interests are specific to the Information Technology and Medical Technology fields. Within IT we focus on CRM, Business Intelligence, Publishing, Electronic Payments and other data rich business activities. In the medical field we focus on proprietary technologies and related services which bring greater efficiency to established markets.
The results of Brook Fund I, Brook Fund II and related Brook Co-Investment Funds place our performance high in the top quartile of comparable funds. We work hard to assist portfolio companies to achieve their goals and objectives, to anticipate difficulties early, and to assist them in developing solutions to challenges they may face.
Brook Venture and its Co-Investment LPs typically provide 1/3 to 2/3 of the capital a Company may be seeking, with the balance coming from institutional co-investors and strategic investors.
Geographically, our focus is in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states.
