Palisades Ventures - Our Strategy

New emerging companies in Broadband infrastructure and enabling technologies need access to strategic players in the distribution value chain to ensure adoption of their services and technologies. The strategic players determine what technology and services are used, and a small number of distributors, multiple systems operators (MSOs) and direct broadcast satellite (DBS) providers control access to customers. Centre Palisades can provide valuable access to these strategic players and distributors through its industry relationships. The strategy is to help strategic players realize incremental revenue, provide access for strategic players to new emerging companies, and create investment opportunities as a result.

Help Strategic Players

Strategic players need to generate incremental revenue and profit from their broadband investments, but many are unable or unwilling to create a new Broadband Technology or Interactive Services companies to do so. Creating a new company diverts resources away from an existing business, and competitors are unlikely adopt their offering. New companies serve as technology incubators, mitigating the risk of technological obsolescence for existing players. For strategic players who want to make investments, Centre Palisades validates valuations, carries out business due diligence, structures investments, and monitors the companies as they grow.

Provide Access and Capital

New emerging companies need access to strategic players to ensure adoption of their services and technologies. A small number of distributors, cable television MSOs and DBS providers control access to customers. Centre Palisades can provide valuable access to these industry players through its industry relationships, and can provide capital both as direct investment and through co-investment of its investors.
