I have near finalized my general concept of structuring all outside work i do (outside of the work i do at my core job that is) into something meaningful, formal - mostly with the intent of making it that much of a serious gig.

Here goes..

Now that i have built up a small bit of capital myself - we'll be starting a company (Yet to be named*) which will, broadly, do the following things:

a) For the first few years continue pursuing investment opportunities / with clearly defined short/medium term exit strategy - in publicly listed companies.

b) Such companies will mostly be from the Pharmaceutical, Healthcare sector to utilize insights of our key person(s) involved (they already do a lot of work in this sector and believe to have a better-than-average grasp of key basic business pointers.)

c) There might a fair bit of work involving some basic derivative instruments and work involving shares, securities from other sectors subject to the key person'(s) level of comfort - on a case to case basis.

d) The fundamental philosophy of this enterprise is to preserve the original capital and attempt to grow / compound it by pursuing, thoroughly researched & logical investment opportunities.

e) In the long term, we expect this firm to assume a larger role - to complement key stakeholder interest in the Pharmaceutical / Chemical manufacturing sector and to possibly act as a form of venture capital firm / Holding company specializing in this field - to fund & thereby participate financially and operationally in interesting ventures.

f) Eventually the company should provide an ideal platform for me to participate on full owned / partial stake basis or on a consulting basis - in newer, exciting ventures in the above mentioned business segments - without any hangoever because of the association with the existing core business, which is, um, independently capitalized.

There now has to be a name (for which there is now a long list open), some basic paperwork (in the pipeline already) and of course a studly website (basic workup on already)

So there.

More info around this development will keep coming up sporadically until the website is good enough to go public. This should happen in a few months max or as soon as some of the recent mind boggling intensity from the day job cools a little.

(*I am building a long list. But as i am not too rushed or clear in the head most of these days, i am not really too keen about obsessing about a name for a while. Suggestions welcome, of course)
