Leadership

Our team has a long history of investing, operating, and raising capital in Silicon Valley. In fact, we were a part of three of the biggest transformations in technology over the last 20 years.

In network security, we were associated with pioneering companies Recourse and Intruvert in the early 2000s. Both companies were backed by tier-one VC firms and achieved exits to Symantec and McAfee.

In 2005, we combined forces to angel invest in Fusion, run the company across two rounds of funding, and help it achieve record growth. Fusion ultimately IPO’d in 2011 on the NYSE with a three billion dollar market cap.

We went on to restructure and recreate Violin Memory, which pioneered the Memory Array market and achieved its own IPO on the NYSE in 2013.

We are a team that brings unique value to any deal because we are ultimately entrepreneurs ourselves. Our unique skills make us the ideal team to find and grow winning companies in areas that are undiscovered or overlooked but are positioned for strong growth.
