What we do

We do what a lot of other VC firms do. We invest capital in new companies in growing markets—communications, software, digital media, security, semiconductors, digital biology, clean tech and nanotechnology. Our initial investment is typically about $1-5 million, and we usually partner with other venture capital firms.

Why we're different

First, we haven’t built up a large staff like most venture firms. We’re seven investing partners managing over $750 million, and we know that our financial success is tied directly to yours. So when you partner with us, you deal with experienced people who not only invest capital, but can help you make that money work. Second, we get it. We’re not starchy. We’re not stiff. We’re not bankers or accountants. We're in this business because we love it. We understand that to you it’s not an "investment opportunity." It’s your dream. So when we work with you it becomes our dream too.
