Lantax, Ltd. is a private international venture capital group dedicated to
finding and investing in early stage companies that are the most advanced and
effective at combating security threats to private, commercial, national and
international governments. The heightened threat of terrorism has brought
newfound attention to corporate, governmental, and private surveillance systems.
However, few organizations have the capabilities necessary to integrate their
surveillance operation into their core IT infrastructure. Rather than becoming a
target for start up ventures, Lantax, Ltd. chooses to operate as an anonymous
entity, which allows them to seek out developing companies that meet their
investment criteria. They desire to invest alongside the management of
developmental stage, anti-terrorist security companies, which seem to have the
greatest potential to develop into significant economic contributors.
