Investment criteria
While the focus is on general areas of interest to Bloomberg,investments are chosen independently, without preference for companies who have or want a relationship with Bloomberg. Investments are for financial return. The team sees Bloomberg as a template for startups — founded on a powerful idea, bringing transparency to markets, achieving global scale, with a strong and open culture that embraces technology, led by its founders for decades. They seek "like the rest of Bloomberg - to bring different worlds together (business, technology, culture, the public sector, among others)".
