Description:	9/25: What investors really look for. Alex van Someren, Partner, Amadeus & Angels Seed Fund, and Dr Uday Phadke, Chief Executive of Cartezia, speaking at CfEL's Enterprise Tuesday lecture series on the 7th February 2012. The first Enterprise Tuesday session of the Lent term starts with two investors who have, between them, helped to incubate nearly 100 businesses during their respective careers. These experts have experienced the roller coaster ride of forming teams, breaking up dysfunctional teams and reforming them. They have also experienced developing and working with successful, star teams. They will talk about what they look for, how they make judgements, when they make changes and how they find talent. One of the most frequently cited reasons for the success or failure of a venture is the effective formation and development of the team. This session will focus on how the composition of teams based on experience, expertise, chemistry, soft skills and shared purpose and values can impact success. It will also deal with the role of the 'Alpha entrepreneur', born or made leadership qualities, characteristics, competences, the ability to change and the ability to manage detail.
