Foundation isn't just another venture capital firm. For us, exceptional service to entrepreneurs is what comes first. Every time. And that's because most of us have been entrepreneurs ourselves - with backgrounds in engineering, marketing, sales and executive management. Not so very long ago, we too were working on the inside to help structure some of today's technology leaders ... companies like Oracle, Netscape, Cadence, Clarify, Visual Engineering and Network Appliance. So when we say we know what you're going through, believe it. And that's why we put more into companies than just money. We also invest our energy, working side-by-side with you and drawing on all our experience and perspective to ensure your success.

Partners
