"While we were still private, Norwest Venture Partners was very helpful in bringing in additional investors who understood the space and what the Internet was all about, rather than those only interested in a short-term liquidity event. Overall, we have found that NVP has been a partner to us for the long-term, someone who can connect us to the people and partnerships that can add value to the company."
