For early stage companies with strong growth potential, our general goal is to invest between $10 million and $15 million in each company over time. We sometimes begin with a smaller amount (as little as $1 million to $5 million), and we have the ability to invest as much as $25 million to $30 million.
Frequently, we are the lead investor for our portfolio companies. In some cases we are the sole venture investor, or we may join with other venture capital firms, corporate partners, and founding investors. Specifically, our early stage and late stage venture investment interests fall into a broad range of categories within information technology including:
