The business of the Salt Flats Capital is to commercialize our knowledge and to invest capital and/or resources to develop diversified portfolios of healthcare technology, media & entertainment and disruptive technologies which produce superior products and services with commensurate rates of return. Our success results from a basic philosophy: leveraging the talent of Salt Flats, LLC through our exclusive relationship, we invest in quality projects, forming a partnership with external stakeholders.
Our partnership model is comprised of collaboration to enhance existing products, develop new product lines, validate and test functionality, and may include capital investing (these options are not mutually exclusive).
Our investment horizon is long-range where most of our investments will have limited marketability for several years. Over that period it is our objective to contribute to the shaping of a sound product or service that ultimately advances the mission, values, and capabilities of Salt Flats Capital while providing a high-quality earnings stream. In this fashion, our goal will be to aid the principals in the creation of greater value.
