Due Dilligence

De Mello will use a disciplined set of criteria in evaluating potential investment companies. This process involves an intensive contact with the management, scientific- medical and industry experts to evaluate the following aspects:

quality and experience of company management

potential market size

potential partners, competition, strategic alliances

patent-position and -portfolio

production issues

research and development results

cost structure and overall business model

De Mello will decide at the end of this phase if the potential investment company will be taken in consideration for a next investment.
