The focus is broad enough to allow the Fund's managers to opportunistically take advantage of investment opportunities that are not necessarily directly related to CRM. Specifically, the Fund pursues three types of investments:

The Fund seeks to invest in early-stage, revenue generating, pre-profit companies, located in the Northeast corridor from Boston to Washington, D.C., that can demonstrate demand for their product or service and a clear path to profitability.
