As a policy, Cap Vista does not sign NDA’s during preliminary discussions. Companies preparing funding proposals and business plans should include sufficient information to allow Cap Vista to do an adequate initial assessment. Inventors are advised not to disclose proprietary information at the preliminary discussion stage. If the proposal generates sufficient interest in Cap Vista and partners, discussions will proceed to a stage where an NDA may become necessary.
Companies and/or individual inventors who approaches Cap Vista to seek funding are to take note that Cap Vista might circulate the relevant selected parties to allow us to evaluate the merits of the funding proposal.
Also, in the course of our work, Cap Vista often come across some ideas, technologies, and business concepts that may already exist in the public domain. Hence we do not sign NDA’s on such information that are already in the public domain because this would hinder our ability to effectively meet our objectives.
If the need arises, Cap Vista would work with venture capitalists and angel investors to assess the viability of deals and to provide assistance to the companies we have interest in. In due course, for the purpose of doing due diligence, it may become necessary for Cap Vista to release information on your proposals to them.
Be assured that no information will be released to VC’s and angel investors without your explicit concurrence in writing, fax or email. |
