Based on feedback from both existing vendors and portfolio companies as well as our experience gathered in evaluating a large number of secondary direct transactions, we believe Cipio Partners differentiates itself from competing investment management firms in the way it deals with vendors as well as portfolio firms.

• Innovative and flexible in structuring transactions of any size - Cipio Partners considers transactions from a single asset costing a few million dollars to portfolio deals of $100+ million in size, without the usual constraints of a set fund's size criteria and other deal-killers.
• Very short response time and firm commitment - With a small group of partners making decisions on each portfolio transaction, Cipio Partners can provide vendors with maximum visibility on the likely outcome of a transaction, in part within a matter of a single day.
• In-depth technical and legal expertise - Important especially in the corporate venture space, Cipio Partners has built a great wealth of knowledge about creating or restructuring vendor fund vehicles so as to achieve tax-transparent structures accessible for outside LPs.
• Reputation as a "win-win" partner - Past transactions have highlighted Cipio Partners' integrity and credibility and showcased its ability to strike agreements that have allowed all parties to benefit from a transaction.
• Skilled investment team - Across the Cipio Partners team, each member has accomplished impressive career milestones and dedicated himself to a set of the Cipio Partners funds (and investees) where s/he can leverage this past experience most effectively.
• Deep domain expertise - The entire Cipio Partners team possesses 100+ years of industry and investment experience.
• Availability of capital - Cipio Partners and its institutional investment partners welcome transactions of various sizes and levels of complexity.
• Full commitment to follow-on financing.
• Strong reputation with co-investors.
