Why "Hockey Stick Investments"?

 

Growing up in Chicago, street (or alley) hockey was our after-school sport of choice.  I was lucky enough to go to many Chicago Blackhawks games in the old Chicago Stadium, and the team rewarded me (albeit 40 years later) with three Stanley Cups!

​

More importantly, the concept of "Hockey Stick Growth" or the "Hockey Stick Curve" is what many startup entreprenuers (and their investors!) hope to obtain.  Following a period of relatively flat growth/progress, a sharp increase in growth/progress ensues, forming a graph that looks like a hockey stick!
