Back to business

This past fall I’ve been working to raise a fund to directly invest in improving procurement operations for companies. Over the winter holidays I was informed that the fund will be closing in two tranches, mid-January and March.

The fund is authorized to make investments that will generate financial savings for client companies. My “tag line” for this blog is that “There are few investments a company can make that rival the returns from investing in their own supply chain.” The expected returns from this fund are representative of that thinking. We expect to invest $2-$3 million with a goal of generating $20-$30 million in savings from expenditures of $200-$300 million. Here's a two-page summary of the offer.

Investments from this fund will primarily be used to pay for consulting fees for strategic sourcing – we intend to hire world-class sourcing firms to do the sourcing on these engagements. In order to deploy the funds we’re looking for client companies who are want a risk-free way to lower their cost of purchased goods and services. As this fund progresses I’ll provide, on a “no-names” basis, details of some of the company opportunities we look at, and any investments and savings we make.

And the shameless sales pitch … you can contact me through my blog email, davidrotor@procurementinvestor.com if you know of any companies that might be interested.

Cheers,

David Rotor
