Operational Experience

Both of our general partners have substantial operational experience, including senior management “CXO” roles in technology businesses. This experience gives us a strong advantage in dealing with entrepreneurs—they sense that our shared background gives us insight into their situation and their challenges. When a CEO is choosing between competing syndicates, our operational backgrounds have frequently tipped the scales in our favor.

At the same time, our background makes us better board members and better stewards of a corporation’s resources. We understand the process of growing a young company—and we recognize the major danger signals. Company management can frequently be distracted by day-to-day tasks; as operationally-experienced board members, we can frequently help them focus on key strategic issues before the company encounters difficulties.
