Today, your startup company needs more than just funding.
Equip Ventures has been formed to serve the entrepreneurs
of the next wave of technology startups. Equip seeks
to invest in pre-seed and seed stage communications,
wireless, networking, software and internet-related startups.
But Equip is here not only to invest funds. We are here
to invest our experience as well. Mark Goros and David
Waxman have over 45 years of high tech operational experience,
while the combined experience of our advisory board totals
nearly 150 years.
| We seek to equip entrepreneurs
with all the gear they need to optimize
success on their startup expeditions. |
We believe our own experience managing and operating
startups will help our portfolio entrepreneurs create
and build great companies of enduring value. Like mountaineering,
embarking on a startup is an exhilarating struggle that
requires incredible commitment and serious preparation.
It is essential to choose the right teammates, procure
the right gear, access the necessary resources and intimately
understand the environment. If you execute your plan
with discipline, making adjustments quickly and effectively
as conditions change, you may find yourself at the peak
of attainment. Equip Ventures is here to help your startup
expedition succeed.
Having collectively been through ten startups including
Broadvision and Oracle, we have the practical operating
experience, the network of relationships and industry
expertise to help entrepreneurs more effectively tackle
these challenges. Perhaps most importantly, having been
entrepreneurs as well as VC's, we have an inherently
deep respect and empathy for the entrepreneur and the
credibility and experience to help make the difficult
decisions required to nurture seed and early stage companies.
A funding partner who has "been there" can give entrepreneurs
the extra edge they require in this challenging environment.
Our operating principles reflect our culture and values:
- Focus on long-term results.
- Continue to grow our network of high quality, high
integrity people.
- Create significant and lasting value for all of our
partners.
- Build new friendships, keep a sense of humor and
have fun.
