“Menlo Ventures defines what it means to be a long-term partner. From their conviction in our initial vision for changing the market, through the IPO, and eventual sale to Nortel Menlo remained on our board as the lead investor and supported us throughout with capital, expertise, and talent you can't find elsewhere.”

Make no little plans...

Opportunities abound in today's information technology sector. The increasingly global reach of computers, mobile phones, and the Internet has created more markets for entrepreneurs to serve than ever before. Still, only a fraction of those fit our criteria for being a Big Idea. Big Ideas create new, large markets, or disrupt entire existing industries. They are not easily executed. They often take large investments of human and financial capital, and success can even involve a bit of luck. Nonetheless, those are the ideas that get us most excited, and are exactly what we are here to support.
