With our professional backgrounds and extensive personal experience working with entrepreneurs and management teams, we bring a service-oriented approach to investing that we believe is not generally prevalent among venture capitalists. We understand concepts such as responsiveness, personal attention and the need to bring collective resources to bear on a given situation. We are committed to functioning as a team, not independently, on every investment we make. Collectively, we will take responsibility for overseeing and supporting our portfolio companies, whether it be in recruiting key personnel, structuring transactions or making introductions to corporate partners. Our approach affords our companies access to the experience, skills and connections of all of our partners and, where appropriate, our investors to give each company the support it needs to succeed.
