Advantage shareholders and portfolio companies benefit from access to Lions Capital’s Mentor pool, comprised of more than 60 successful life science, technology and cleantech entrepreneurs. Lions Capital’s Mentors assist Advantage by bringing us high quality investment opportunities, allowing us access to their expertise in carrying out due diligence, co-investing alongside us, and becoming directors, officers and advisors to our portfolio companies.

We introduce the Lions Capital Mentors to portfolio or prospect companies when we believe the Mentors may add significant value to the company. We let each company and Mentor determine if they should work together and, if so, what their business arrangement should look like. Mentors might consult to the company, join its Advisory Board or Board of Directors or even join the company's management team on a full-time basis.

We take the Mentor Model seriously. Approximately two-thirds of our portfolio companies have at least one Lions Capital Mentor as a director or officer of the company. We believe the Mentor Model is a strategic advantage for both our portfolio companies and our investors.
