Where We Invest

We focus our investments in four broad technology sectors: SaaS, cloud, mobile and Internet. Within these large sectors, we focus on the particular markets we've identified as great startup opportunities. This ensures that we're informed and prepared when we meet with entrepreneurs in these markets. Throughout this site, we try to make our areas of interest clear, while also keeping an open mind to new and intriguing insights from entrepreneurs.

当我们投资时

我们喜欢为公司想长成long-term companies that matter. By the time we invest, a company should have completed its product and validated its vision by attracting early revenue-generating customers. We make exceptions for companies where there is strong customer adoption or usage that provides a clear proxy for subsequent revenue growth, but we are looking for companies that are ready to scale – as our name reflects. This great post from Steve Blank discusses scaling, or more importantly, not scaling until you are ready. The evidence is clear that premature scaling has caused the death of many early stage companies.

Once a company is ready to scale, the value we bring to the table as investors and board members stems from our backgrounds as sales and marketing executives in our target industries. We have operated and invested in game-changing companies that have grown quickly and have made a difference in peoples' lives.

美元和美分

我们的投资规模从300万美元到2000万美元不等，在投资寿险中平均约为1200万美元。我们总是在投资组合公司中占据董事会或观察者席位。我们增加了我们可以的价值，同时确保我们让CEO开车。我们的价值来自于将产品投放市场和增长收入的经验。我们帮助公司招募和合作伙伴，我们对看到的其他获奖者进行基准测试，并主持活动以帮助我们的投资组合公司网络并相互利用。

我们的方法

We enjoy what we do and take it seriously. The entrepreneurs we back have committed to building successful companies and pursuing their dreams. The investors who have backed us have entrusted us with their hard-earned capital. And we also put our own capital on the line. For all these reasons, we want to win. We believe that success in this business requires a combination of vision and conviction about the future, coupled with an objective realism about progress towards that goal. We don't always get it right, but we get up every day determined to keep getting better.

我们重视参与我们工作的更广泛的社区。我们的合伙人凯特·米切尔（Kate Mitchell）是国家风险投资协会委员会的成员和前主席。此外，许多ScaleVP成员与企业家和行业组织合作。
