ACCOLADES: For over a decade you have helped us with all our technological needs. Through all our expansions and challenges, we have been able to count on GLOBUS for support and expertise on what is new on the technological horizon. Your people have always been honest, and insightful to our business needs. GLOBUS’s unwavering commitment to quality and to our firm has been evident in all our dealings. We are sincerely appreciative of all their efforts and will continue to reward them with our patronage and highest recommendations. If only all of our Vendors supported us with the same level of interest and professionalism. A resounding thank you to everyone at GLOBUS for your support….. After a long list of contractors; our experience with your firm has been nothing less than refreshing. Old world service, business and technical knowhow, quality workmanship; a cliché, but it fully applies in our experience. There’s only one reason why I would not recommend your company and that is to keep you all for ourselves. After calling numerous companies who either showed little interested or wanted to charge me over $800 for the service call, a single call to GLOBUS supplied a service technician the very next morning. After a clean and professional installation of the equipment, and some unexpected but needed training, I was billed $185. I actually offered to pay him more, but he graciously declined. Will I use GLOBUS again? What do you think?

We are information technology investors whose focus is on enterprise products and services. In the 20 years since we were founded by Michael Napal, we have invested in numerous companies; whose successes have served our strategic goals and further our investment portfolio diversification. Our investment team has more than 100 years of combined technology and business experience, as operators, entrepreneurs, industry analysts and investors. The entire team believes in involving ourselves deeply with our companies. We are open and flexible in our thinking and believe there is the potential for great companies and solutions in a wide variety of spaces. This is reflected in our willingness to investigate opportunities across all stages, industries and market segments on a global basis. As the corporate venture capital arm of GLOBUS, Inc., we operate under two independent but synergistic imperatives. First, we act autonomously in discovering and pursuing opportunities for outstanding financial returns that may be independent of or central to GLOBUS’s corporate strategic focus. Second, we bring substantial benefit to GLOBUS, Inc. by facilitating interaction between innovative young companies and the GLOBUS ecosystem. Put simply, we have the independence to pursue investments we believe have the highest potential. We also spend a large part of our time maintaining strategic relationships throughout the GLOBUS ecosystem and focusing on finding ways for each of our customers, portfolio companies and GLOBUS to collaborate for mutual advantage. OUR STRATEGY AND PROCESS GLOBUS Ventures is a strong partner that normally participates as part of an investor syndicate. Typically, we prefer that the syndicate lead be a new investor in the company. We evaluate information technology and other opportunities across all stages. We emphasize investing in solutions and services in line with emerging and strategic markets. Executing on an investment can take as little as several weeks or as long as several months. The key determinants are the required depth of diligence, the schedule and makeup of the investment syndicate, and, at times, the business requirements of the prospective investment recipient. We identify investment opportunities in a variety of ways. For example, we will develop investment themes and areas of related interest in which we proactively seek new businesses. We will respond to entrepreneurs and venture capitalists who understand the value we can bring to an investment to be part of a financing round. We also pursue investment opportunities brought to us by partners within the GLOBUS ecosystem. When evaluating investment opportunities, we focus on: - Management team strength and depth
- Potential market size and opportunity
- Uniqueness of products, service and technologies
- Exit opportunity
In making these evaluations, we draw not only on our own expertise, but also from the knowledge base of the entire GLOBUS ecosystem and its pool of resources. Entrepreneurs can expect to have at least one discussion with a business and/or technology leader within GLOBUS. These discussions are mutually beneficial, providing all parties valuable industry insight. In many cases, these introductions are the seed of a significant future business relationship.

In today’s Global Marketplace, geographic coverage, capacity and efficiency continue to expand through the use of Technology. However, these new tools have also become more complex and costly to implement and maintain.

Old World Service---Individualized Business Solutions---Best of Breed Technology 2/1989 Ultimately, what this all this mean? All Businesses want to improve their bottom line. Weather it is improvements in productivity, efficiency, cost-cutting, marketability, increased market share and profit margins, the timely implementation of the right tools can expedite this purpose. With this in mind, there is also a natural evolution which all new products follow, for its refinement, and market maturation. Knowing the pitfalls of early adaptation (Bleeding-edge alternatives), we thoroughly research each product, before adding it to our offerings. GLOBUS is committed to bringing the greatest benefit and shortest ROI, by offering the right solution to the task at hand. Perfection in any form is rarely achieved Excellence however is attainable, and therefore worth the effort. 2/1990 These are very exciting time at GLOBUS, Inc. As we continue our expansion efforts, a downturn in the market has provided us with some valuable acquisitions and joint venture opportunities. Of course, these opportunities would not be meaningful if they did not ultimately offer a benefit to our clients. Our localized area of coverage will be increased, and a new set of products that are feature rich with a lower cost of ownership. It all adds up to more for less, and less is more; a win-win for all. One Company….Infinite Possibilities 2/1991 As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we have been reflecting on our past successes, challenges and lessons learned. The most encouraging realization has been our customers’ tenure and increased commitments, which we accept as the true measure of our performance. Best Regards, Chm, C.E.O.
