ARDENT 8
Conditions for working with Ardent8
You must have operating capital and/or access to a line of credit and/or relationships with investors that are able to support and provide you with necessary funds, at least one per cent (1%) of the amount you seek in any major currency.
We only fund projects that are innovative; this means we will not fund a duplication of an existing product or service launched to compete in either a local or global market place without significant and unique advantages or proven measures of under-supply or community benefit.
Your project must require at least Twenty Million United States Dollars (USD$20,000,000) of any major currency. We mostly provide for projects that require access to large-scale capital and we will deal with project owners, a select group of partners and associates in almost any country.
Projects that will receive our attention demonstrate a high capability of persons managing, executing, partnering and associating with any nominated project. We will look to fund private sector projects, public works (Government led) projects and/or infrastructure re-build projects.
A submission of an initial Executive Summary which demonstrates what, when, where and hints at how will be most successful. Information on credible key staff with a mix of qualifications and proven experience and identification will be requested. No persons associated to any submitted projects are to have had a past criminal conviction in any jurisdiction or be barred from operating a Company in their chosen jurisdiction and that must include pending charges.
Our realms of projects are those that fit within an “environmental” or “humanitarian” umbrella i.e. “green-tech”. This may include but is not limited to: bio-technology, food-technology, bio-fuels, feed-stocks, organic focused farms, agriculture, aquaculture, waste, energy, sustainability of life, healthcare, local economic benefits, global economic benefits, supplying a proven demand, recycling, clean air, low or no carbon emissions, reducing carbon emissions, reducing carbon footprints, cleaning waterways, reducing pollution generally, local employment and up-skilling and more… but you get the picture.
Projects are accepted at any stage of development, including seed stages, R&D stages, pre commercialization stages… actually we prefer an involvement with a successful applicant project earlier rather than later in a projects realisable cycle (or plan).
Successfully contracted projects will need to work with our relationship managers and other key staff to ensure their documentation is done to criteria and is of an acceptable standard, presentation is almost as important as the information itself. All claims need to be backed by verifiable market research / statistics etc. and will need to be displayed in an appendix to their Business Plans (as per “our” criteria).
Projects are scrutinized through due diligence and continuously monitored via Xero accounting and that includes random spot-audits. A member from Ardent will sit on the board of the funded Company to assist and guide, however, the projects majority shareholding and control will remain with its principals.
