Private Equity and Venture Capital
SRS Capital Partners has been successfully investing directly into private equity and venture capital enterprises for 25+ years. With extraordinary returns and over 25 exits, SRS Capital Partners has established an investment criteria set for both direct and fund investments that guides its investment strategy. SRS Capital Partners is an opportunistic investor looking at the core competencies of entrepreneurs and management teams that when applied to an entrepreneurial venture builds a scalable and dominate enterprise.
We look first to the disciplines, character, competency and capacity of the key players before engaging in the opportunity due diligence of the business, whether it be technology, SaaS, retail, manufacturing, DTC opportunities or other product and/or service opportunities. We believe that enterprises successfully and sustainably compete by and through their core competencies, and secondarily by and through their product or service. Foundationally with unique, leverageable and value-oriented competency, any enterprise can thrive, and even dominate in its market.
It's all about the team, competency and strategy, each of which are integral in building a successful, scalable and sustainable enterprise.
Corporate Strategy
Drawing upon the breadth of its experience, SRS Capital employs the Sunflower Model, as refined in collaboration with Robert Ryan, as a core methodology and principle of its Advisory Services. The Sunflower Model helps to codify the key and irreducible competency elements of an enterprise. The sunflower is a perfect metaphor as the large seed-center core of the sunflower is representative of core competencies, the innumerable petals of the sunflower are representative of revenue channels, and the stem of the sunflower is representative of the driving forces (positive and negative influences/forces in the market). The Sunflower Model has seven key steps:
-
Drilling Down to your Core Competencies
-
Building your Revenue Petals
-
Critical Decision Making Amongst the Revenue Petals Using Matrix Modelling
-
A Revenue Petal Walkabout
-
Refining your Decision Matrix
-
Building a Suffocation Strategy
-
Goals and Execution for a Successful Transformational Company.
The Sunflower Model and Process is a critical tool and process applied by SRS to develop transformational Hero companies.
​
Drilling Down to Core Competencies – Core Competencies are those things that an entrepreneur or its company does well and further differentiate them in the marketplace. Core Competencies can include technology and engineering skill sets, intellectual property, brand, personnel databases, algorithms, network relationships, etc. These Core Competencies are metaphorically the prime numbers of the irreducible; they should be unique, can be leveraged and prove a value to the customer. Core competencies fall into three categories: the obvious, the hidden and the missing. It is imperative to know a company’s Core Competencies.
​
The Sunflower Model helps to build alignment and qualify a company’s Revenue Petals using a unique matrix model. After applying the matrix, management walkabouts to customers become a valued part of the Sunflower Model, which helps to access and validate the outcomes of the process, including, but not limited to, verification of criteria, pain points and competitive dynamics. Following a Revenue Petal Walkabout, a refinement process is then undertaken. Thereafter, SRS applies a process and deliberate application of the Sunflower Model in the company, and the real competition. The bottom-line deliverable of this process is foundational to building a ‘suffocation’ strategy that enables the company to dominate in the marketplace; in addition to informing subordinate but critical strategies for capital, technology and product development. These strategies inform the needed goals of the Company and lays the foundation for a successful and tactical execution.
​
The Sunflower Model uniquely drives innovation, alignment and strategy. The Model also informs the entrepreneur in critical product innovations and strategies for market domination.
