CEO

“Having Norwest Venture Partners as an investor added credibility to the IPO process, specifically when we went looking for bankers. Birds of a feather flock together, as they say. NVP also has helped us find and hire some good people, and introduced us to potential business partners. The real value has really been in the knowledge of our industry and technology.”
