Building and Monetizing groundbreaking innovation
Founded in 1998 in Palo Alto, The Venture Company (a moniker for our Venture Economics activities) helps Limited Partners, Fund of Funds and other Venture Investors turn Technology Venture into their best performing asset class.
Technology Venture remains the ideal asset class with superior economics; it is a low cost (non-derivative) production business with zero-cost distribution, immediate global impact and 5/6th of the world's consumers still yearning for a suitable application to improve their lives.
Aided by relevant entrepreneurial and venture investment experience, we fix the financial system of the venture ecosystem that has kept innovation in a choke-hold for too long.
We fundamentally reset the application of investment risk in venture - to where it belongs - apply merit and return performance to more than what it once was.
