"We like to back entrepreneurs with vision, drive and passion. It is drive and passion that get companies through the inevitable challenges new ventures confront. And clarity of vision enables companies at a crossroads to choose the right path. It is our role as investors to share the entrepreneurs passion, to advise and encourage, and to make available the resources they need to succeed."
