Rhiza Capital is entering the final stage of the venture capital lifecycle where the focus will be on monitoring and supporting our portfolio companies, and divesting, in due course, to return capital to our investors. Carrying out these responsibilities, however, is taking place at a critical juncture where Rhiza is operating with increasing pressures on its internal resources and during a period of retraction in both the size and number of deals in the venture capital market. There are two main goals of this project:

1. Identify the opportunities to allocate resources towards enhancing the value of our portfolio companies and divesting, where appropriate, to return capital to investors.
2. Executing on these recommended opportunities while balancing our resources, and ensuring our social impact reporting is up to date and timely.

• Organize financial metrics and KPI's into a spreadsheet to track financial health and growth potential of portfolio companies.
• Update financial metrics and KPI's as data is released from portfolio companies.
• Occasionally attend meetings with portfolio companies to formulate notes on results and assist the Managing Director with identifying areas of strengths and weaknesses in their business and market.
• Provide support with comparable company valuation analysis to determine potential value ranges of portfolio companies - both in the context of divesting or holding onto investments within the funds.
• Maintain database of High Net Worth and Institutional Social Impact Investors including supporting the calculation of potential returns.
• Liaise with portfolio companies and Telus Pollinator Fund to gather data and report on social impact metrics and to source opportunities for follow-on investments.

• Direct access to the Managing Director
• Online learning opportunities held with our Institutional and High Net Worth social impact investors
• Access to our shared drive
• Online tools provided by our Institutional Investors
• Online financial modelling coursework
