Sutter Hill Ventures has financed technology-based start-ups and assisted entrepreneurs in building market-leading companies since 1964. Through our decades of experience, we have developed strong industry networks, considerable operating and venture capital experience, and an understanding of the challenges that early-stage and high-growth companies face. We offer expertise in developing business strategy and partnerships, building management teams, and financing companies in both public and private markets.

We are experienced operating executives who love building companies. Our approach is straightforward. We have a collegial and uncomplicated operating style that is direct and results-driven. We work as a team to respond quickly to new investment proposals and to our portfolio companies' needs. Once we invest in a company, we bring to bear our time, expertise, and extensive industry networks to help these companies succeed. Building companies is our top priority and our favorite occupation.

We have structured Sutter Hill to allow us to invest in a focused portfolio of early-stage companies and build value for the long-term. We're always available to our CEOs and founders as advisors and mentors ready with practical and strategic advice from our own venture capital and operating experiences. We don't insist on winning every argument, but we will always tell you what we think. We also have a network of executives, advisors, and support infrastructure to help our portfolio get going in the right direction quickly. As former line managers ourselves, we know the vision, energy and commitment that building a successful company requires. We strive to build partnerships with entrepreneurs that combine dedicated support from Sutter Hill with trust that the teams we back can make good decisions and execute on the details.

Our limited partners have committed long-term support to our evergreen fund which allows us to make long-term commitments to our companies. In addition, a significant portion of every dollar we invest is our own money, and each one of us participates in every investment. This direct investment reinforces each partner's commitment to every company in our portfolio and ensures that we bring every available resource to bear in helping our companies succeed.
