Ryan's Dating Secrets Revealed: HowAboutWe Couples
After a while, I started hearing rumblings of a HowAboutWe for Couples, a sort of subscription date service. I’ll admit, at first I was skeptical. One, I just didn’t think I needed help coming up with fun dates, and two, I foresaw looking cheap during the dreaded coupon exchange...
Preparing a Pitch to POTUS
Every entrepreneur experiences highs and lows as we work to launch and grow our companies. Last week was one of the highest highs.
President Obama kick-started a series of quick “job and opportunity” tours showcasing what works in places like Austin, Texas. His message: if Congress primed the pump, the good stuff like the creation of quality tech and manufacturing jobs happening in Austin could trickle up to the rest of America.
Founder Friendly Capital
ff Venture Capital partners with startups that can be the low cost, disruptive player in their respective industry. With the right management team and adequate financing, our companies can grow to become tomorrow's leaders. Our goal is to build great companies and generate significant returns for our partners: management teams and investors alike.
We are generalists, not specialists, preferring to invest in growth where we find it and to not box ourselves into the theme du jour, where the rest of the crowd is flocking. This flexibility is part of our success at generating industry leading returns. However, we invest only in areas we understand and know.
Our Record
Since 1999, our partners have made over 150 investments in over 60 companies, and from the beginning we have been highly focused on generating industry leading returns. Our exits include Cornerstone OnDemand (which raised $137m in a March 2011 IPO, ticker CSOD) and Quigo Technologies (sold to AOL for a reported $340m in 2007). We have a large crop of exciting high growth companies in our portfolios, and we expect to have similar exits as these companies mature and grow.
Just The Right Size
By deliberately running relatively small funds, we are able to better align everyone's interests and be one of a handful of professional investors in smaller, angel-sized rounds. We work hard with our CEOs, as their testimonials show, to help them get to the next level. We also continue to invest in and support our companies in later rounds as they execute their long-term plans.
Accelerating Your Growth
We offer our companies space and a wide range of professional support services to aid in the transformation from scrappy startup to global dominator!
