I get there will most likely be no dividend but it seems you could find one with growth potential....no?
Caveat: I am NO expert. Not by a long shot
My take is yes one or more of these companies could have growth potential. It would be because they have a particular know how that resides in the talents of the principals and probably a product or process that they have patented. Garden variety suppliers and subcontractors are probably already well known and trade at full value (if they are even public companies. )
That means sifting through the prospects very carefully to judge which companies have the most promise. Also a close look at their balance sheets and profit and loss statements. They may great people and great ideas buy be bleeding out financially.
