  2. Competitive Advantage: differentiated products or services that are not easily duplicated, providing a clear and sustainable advantage over the competition
  3. Strong Management Team: demonstrated success; experienced track record within targeted industry; entrepreneurial spirit
  4. Well Defined Exit Strategy: capabilities that are viewed as strategic by multiple potential acquirers with the potential for a public offering or strategic sale
