East Gate portfolio companies are able to quickly develop technology, penetrate foreign markets, and set up off shore manufacturing facilities, because of connections provided by East Gate to leaders of industry in Japan and Korea. By partnering with the leading technology providers in Japan and Korea, East Gate portfolio companies gain a springboard in to China. China offers a tremendous market opportunity and a world class manufacturing base for East Gate investments. East Gate is uniquely positioned to invest in leading US technology companies and help them reap the benefits of doing business in the three largest and fastest growing economies of the Far East, China, Japan and Korea.

The majority of the East Gate portfolio is located in Northern California but the team will invest outside
this region if there is a strong, local anchor investor. Entrepreneurs seeking investment from East Gate
should have an outstanding value proposition, a dedicated management team with a proven ability to
execute, and a unique and groundbreaking technology. The company should also have strategies in Japan,
Korea or Greater China as a critical piece of its business plan.
