本基金秉持“培育赢家”的方针，在创业生态体系中主动发掘并全程陪伴被投企业，从初创阶段一路扶持至规模化发展。

在不违反现行法规与内部指引的前提下，理大除通过本基金进行投资外，还将为被投企业提供全方位成长与扩张支持，包括但不限于：使用理大研发设施、与学术人员开展合作、导师辅导、对接产业及校友网络及其他由理大酌情提供的资源。

任何单一被投企业的累计投资金额（即本基金向该企业支付的总金额）上限为港币 400 万元，并会定期检讨调整。

被投企业的最长持有时限为十年，亦会定期检讨。

理大将指派一名代表在被投企业董事会担任观察员；当理大持有该企业 10% 或以上股权时，可选择正式出任董事席位。

本基金主要采用“共同投资”模式，借助私人投资者的资金与专业经验，助力潜在被投企业的业务拓展及后续融资。然而，对于拥有颠覆性技术/创新、尚处极早期而难获私人投资者充分理解的项目，亦可考虑由本基金独立投资。

理大将与信誉良好、专业能力突出的共同投资方合作；这些伙伴须在相关领域与理大秉持相同愿景，共同培育潜在被投企业。

共同投资伙伴可涵盖：种子基金、天使基金、风险投资机构、企业创投、家族办公室、私募股权基金等。
