About Meritage

Our Investment Focus

Today's world is rapidly moving toward a state of pervasive connectivity. We invest exclusively in companies that leverage these connections to deliver services that enable communication, deliver content and facilitate commerce. We seek businesses that have a recurring-revenue business model, including contractual, transactional and advertising-based revenue streams.

Network-Enabled Service Companies

We live in a world that's "always on, always connected", with people, devices and enterprises digitally connected in ways never before imagined. This pervasive connectivity is driven by price and performance improvements in wired networking (fiber optic, DSL and IP technology), wireless networking (3-G, 4-G, WiFi and WiMax technology), data storage and computer processing, and the widespread adoption of the Internet as a communications medium. This accelerating trend has fostered the creation of new services, the ability to deliver traditional services better, faster and cheaper, and has led other large industries to adopt the highly attractive network-enabled service model for the first time. The result: the potential for new billion-dollar businesses.

We define our targeted opportunities as network-enabled service companies that enable communication, deliver content and facilitate commerce. Meritage believes that investments in businesses offering these types of services present exceptional opportunities to generate superior investment returns.

Meritage seeks to invest in network-enabled service companies with recurring revenue business models, experienced management teams and proven technologies that address large and rapidly growing markets. We have found that these characteristics enable us to build large, profitable enterprises on a traditional five-to-seven year venture investment horizon that are highly valued by both strategic and financial buyers in almost any market environment.
