INTELCORE utilises an efficient step-by-step procedure to evaluate and process promising opportunities, ideas and business concepts. Starting with a preliminary review of the presented concept and thereafter in each subsequent stage further defines and clarifies the project's scope and potential, culminating with a decision to invest, a formal offering to the concept's originators and the commencement of its structuring, financing and commercial operations.

Stage1: Concept Presentation
Stage 2: Formal Application (Investment Memorandum)
Stage 3: Assessment & Deliberation
Stage 4: Proposal & Investment

Stage 1: Concept Presentation

The first stage in INTELCORE's investment process concerns the initial review of seminal concepts and ideas as well as semi-developed patents and gestating start-ups. These concepts or proposals are usually presented by the original developers behind the idea (entrepreneurs, inventors, engineers, scientists etc.) but may also arrive via an institutional route (universities, research laboratories, etc.). At times the concept presentation may be requested by INTELCORE itself where it identifies promising opportunities and invites the originators to participate in the selection process. These initial proposals clarify on the nature, scope, impact and potential of the concept presented. Where applicable, a business plan may be included at this stage but is not considered mandatory. Similarly, the concept presentation should ideally outline the amount of financing required, as well as the planned allocation of capital. Most importantly, these initial proposals must ensure the presented concept and request for financing is in line with INTELCORE’s vision an investment focus.

Stage 2: Formal Application (Investment Memorandum)

Once the initial concept has been approved for further processing, INTELCORE invites the proposal's originators to submit a formal application (Investment Memorandum). At this stage, the originators may work together with INTELCORE's consultants to create a comprehensive working proposal for the concept. This proposal would ideally covers business planning, market insight, detailed financing requirements, roadmap for implementation and so on, and would expect to furnish the academic and professional credentials as well as personal backgrounds of the originators themselves. The formal application stage also involves the signing of preliminary agreements defining code of conduct, limitations and liabilities, non-disclosure guarantees, and the understanding and acceptance of INTELCORE's investment terms and conditions.

Stage 3: Assessment & Deliberation

This third stage is the most critical as it subjects the presented concept to an exhaustive and stringent assessment. INTELCORE leverages its global network of expert scientific and technical associates to put together a specific project team which investigates and analyses the concept's inherent aspects from its expertise. INTELCORE’s  team thus evaluates key considerations such as intellectual property rights, patent technology inherent to the proposal, design and implementation processes, regulatory inputs, investment parameters, market potential, return on funding and so forth with the aim of generating a comprehensive investment plan and implementation timetable. The investigation's findings and conclusions are then thoroughly deliberated by INTELCORE’s core consultant and financial teams which may request additional clarifications or investigation as required. This objective is to evaluate all aspects of the concept with a view to exploring its full potential, optimising time-to-market, minimising all investment risks and maximising returns, creating a tangible global value in line with INTELCORE's vision.

Stage 4: Proposal & Investment

Depending on the final conclusions of the Assessment & Deliberation stage, INTELCORE develops a formal proposal for investment in the proposed concept. This constitutes the terms and conditions of INTELCORE's participation, outlines the scope and amount of investment, defines the structuring of the concept as a commercial undertaking and sets out goals, objectives, timelines and governance parameters. The concept's originators review this formal offering and upon their acceptance, the agreement is legalised and INTELCORE initiates the structuring and financing processes.
