Our philosophy on venture investing is that we help manage
time, people and money.  Optimizing the first two items gives
the entrepreneur and the company the greatest chance for
success; while maximizing the return on the money is the
collective goal of the Partnership.  We are active end-to-end
investors with the energy, experience and contacts to help
make companies successful.

• We carefully track macro demographic economic themes and how they intersect with technology themes and with vertical industries and different countries.  We use this framework to guide our investments and return strategies throughout the lifetime of a Fund.
• We believe everyone investing in technology today must have global visibility and presence.  We maintain offices on both coasts and have active investment partners throughout Europe and Asia.
• We believe in managing a diversified portfolio with elements of core, infrastructure and applied technologies with multiple opportunities.  At the same time we try to weed our opportunities based on performance to develop a focus portfolio of companies in which the Fund can maintain a 20% or greater ownership position.
• We prefer to invest in “platform/stand alone” companies that can be large global ideas.  We like to lead or co-lead the company's initial funding, with a partner who is knowledgeable in the vertical industry we are investing in.
• We believe in a strong fiduciary backbone at the fund level with disciplined operating metrics, human resource and financial reporting guidelines.
