Yefet Rothko
Venture Capitalist, Activist Investor, Aspiring Po
CORPORATION INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
Rothko Capital is the venture capital firm founded by Yefet Rothko. Venture capital is still the main focus of the firm. Rothko Capital searches the galaxy for startup companies and provides the necessary funds to help launch them. The usual payment model is in the form of shares in the company, though some of the riskier investments, especially in manufacturing companies, will usually involve a royalty deal for each product sold instead.
Rothko Capital soon began seeking an investing role in already existing companies, so the firm established a private equity branch. In exchange for providing funds to a company, usually to fund an expansion, Rothko Capital takes equity in the company.
For many of its venture capital and private equity investments, Rothko Capital finds that the client company is in dire need of restructuring in order to be profitable. It is not uncommon for Rothko Capital to include substantial changes to the company in its terms for the investment.
Two newer branches of Rothko Capital are mergers & acquisitions and corporate & legal consulting. With the considerable knowledge of corporate workings and management, Rothko Capital is ideally qualified to provide assistance and consultation services for other businesses.
Though not as immediately profitable as the other branches, Rothko Capital maintains a visible presence in real estate. Through acquiring and developing properties, usually for corporations and factory installations, Rothko Capital utilizes real estate as a rather safe way to hold funds. If a particularly large investment failed to be profitable and Rothko Capital was in need of funds, the sale of one of its many property holdings could provide the necessary credits.
Rothko Capital has earned a reputation as one of the premier investment firms in the galaxy. The substantial holdings and experience of the firm make it an ideal partner for businesses in need of funds. However, Rothko Capital has also earned the reputation of a corporate raider. To turn around unprofitable investments Rothko Capital uses and expands its shareholder status to take an active role in the management of the unprofitable company in question. This usually leads to many people losing jobs and sometimes the complete dissolution of a company and the sale of its assets so that Rothko Capital can cover its loses.
RATIONALE
Prior to founding Rothko Capital, Yefet Rothko was an executive at another Coruscant investment firm. As a result of declining profitability and infighting, Yefet was fired shortly before the firm collapsed. Unwilling to be defeated and sensing opportunity in the galactic market, Yefet invested his savings into stocks and real estate and used the profits from these endeavors to found Rothko Capital. His business acumen and talent for negotiation soon propelled Rothko Capital to a position of prominence in the business world and funded its expansion into new business opportunities.
