We’ve been investing in software and internet businesses since 1979 and currently have a portfolio of 100 companies.  In the US and Europe, we invest at all funding stages, from start-ups to buyouts.  In Asia, we target our support at well-established businesses that need capital to grow.

The companies we partner build sales rapidly by meeting user needs and expanding across borders:

• Mindjet provides software that enables companies to present complex information visually, assisting with brainstorming, communication and decision-making.  The company’s sales have seen outstanding growth, making its MindManager software the world’s leading product of its type.  Our team in Menlo Park introduced Mindjet to contacts in the US software industry and helped the company move its headquarters from Germany to California.
• Sulake is combining the scalability of the internet with sustainable consumer loyalty.  Sulake is an interactive entertainment company that develops, publishes and distributes multiplayer online communities and games.  The company’s leading international brand, Habbo Hotel, has become one of the world’s fastest-growing teen-focused websites, with 6.5m monthly unique visitors and over 40 million registered Habbo characters.
• PriceMinister is the third most popular e-commerce site in France.  Launched in 2001, it enables users to buy and sell new and used products.  It now has nearly 5 million members, 15 million visits a month and 30 million items for sale.  Its fixed prices and secure payment methods give it a distinctive edge and we are working with the business to expand its successful model to other European countries.
