本基金秉持“培育贏家”的方針，在創業生態體系中主動發掘並全程陪伴被投企業，從初創階段一路扶持至規模化發展。

在不違反現行法規與內部指引的前提下，理大除通過本基金進行投資外，還將為被投企業提供全方位成長與擴張支持，包括但不限於：使用理大研發設施、與學術人員開展合作、導師輔導、對接產業及校友網路及其他由理大酌情提供的資源。

任何單一被投企業的累計投資金額（即本基金向該企業支付的總金額）上限為港幣 400 萬元，並會定期檢討調整。

被投企業的最長持有時限為十年，亦會定期檢討。

理大將指派一名代表在被投企業董事會擔任觀察員；當理大持有該企業 10% 或以上股權時，可選擇正式出任董事席位。

本基金主要採用“共同投資”模式，借助私人投資者的資金與專業經驗，助力潛在被投企業的業務拓展及後續融資。然而，對於擁有顛覆性技術/創新、尚處極早期而難獲私人投資者充分理解的項目，亦可考慮由本基金獨立投資。

理大將與信譽良好、專業能力突出的共同投資方合作；這些夥伴須在相關領域與理大秉持相同願景，共同培育潛在被投企業。

共同投資夥伴可涵蓋：種子基金、天使基金、風險投資機構、企業創投、家族辦公室、私募股權基金等。
