Strategic guidance

Hyperion Israel Advisors Ltd.

http://www.hyperionisrael.com

Hyperion Israel Venture Partners is dedicated to helping build innovative Israel-based technology startups into successful enterprises. Founded in October 2000 by the principals of Hyperion Partners, a leading US investment firm, Hyperion Israel provides start-up companies with financing and strategic guidance based on deep industry experience. Hyperion Israel was initially founded as a $73M investment fund, several years after the investment by Hyperion Partners (USA) in Bank Hapoalim, Israel's largest banking organization. Since then, Hyperion Israel has invested in eight promising companies, all of which are following strong growth paths. Our general partners and our advisory board (in formation) include the chairman of Computer Associates, the former CEO of Chubb, and the president of GMAC. Additional Board of Directors participation includes: Computer Associates, Check Point, Bank Hapoalim, Signature Bank, Koor, Heinz and Fleur. In addition, most of the U.S. members of the Hyperion Israel's investment committee have had prior working experience in major investment banks. This enables us to leverage their deep familiarity with worldwide capital markets to assist portfolio companies in raising outside capital through IPOs. Whenever appropriate, we leverage our international relationships for the benefit of our portfolio companies. At every stage of a company's growth, from the earliest genesis of an idea, through market launch and enterprise growth, we work with the entrepreneurs to provide guidance and help where needed while ensuring they have the room they need to create their own success.

Fenway's investment strategy is to sponsor companies with leading franchises that offer significant opportunities for value creation through growth and improvements in operating performance. We work in partnership with management teams to increase the fundamental value of portfolio companies by developing and executing growth strategies, and leveraging our investment experience, operating skills and relationship network. Our practice of establishing a stable financial platform with a strong equity base and a conservative capital structure allows portfolio companies the flexibility to aggressively pursue long-term strategic plans and finance add-on acquisitions, as well as the capacity to withstand competitive pressures and economic downturns. Our prudent investment approach allows us to meet commitments in difficult times and increase the likelihood of successful execution of portfolio company strategies in economic downturns. We provide managements and employees the opportunity to build their businesses as owners in an entrepreneurial environment. We believe that management teams perform best in entrepreneurial settings where they can share in the rewards and have the autonomy to take calculated risks to achieve their goals. We offer our portfolio companies a full range of financial, operational and human resources to assist managements in executing the companies' strategic plans. In addition to the availability of ongoing sources of financing, portfolio companies benefit from expertise in operational, managerial and strategic areas provided by our investment professionals. In addition, we work closely with managements to identify, assess and complete complementary acquisitions for our portfolio companies. Fenway's principals have an extensive network of key relationships among financial intermediaries, industry contacts, and executives and managers to assist portfolio companies in developing customers and partners, in recruiting, and in raising awareness in the industry and the marketplace. Through our resources and involvement, we promote a productive blend of dynamic energy and entrepreneurial imagination to enable thoughtful, disciplined execution of the portfolio companies' strategies.
