TIME stands for Telecommunications, Information Technology, new Media and Entertainment.
This sector, particularly in Web 2.0 products, has attracted significant investment activity over the past 12 months. The high profile success of businesses such as Skype selling to eBay and YouTube to Google has helped to fuel this growth.
OneVentures first hand experience in building and successfully exiting high growth technology companies means we truly understand the core intricacies of the TIME industry.
Internet television, home entertainment, home multi-media, online advertising, broadband and online social networks are just some areas of notable significance to the industry and the OneVentures Innovation Fund. Retail and payment technologies are also of particular interest to the fund.
OneVentures, when and where appropriate, will endeavour to open the doors for US expansion for our investee companies. We feel this is an important strategy since it is widely recognised that the size of the Australian market can not generally support TIME sector businesses which are unable to capture a significant market share (in some cases 50% or more). This is no small feat for an emerging business, which is why OneVentures offshore networks will prove to be an invaluable asset to our investees as their businesses grow.
