Markets with Scale
ScaleVP has built a track record of successful companies and top
quartile financial performance with a consistent strategy driven
by our market insights. We're active investors. We lead new rounds
and use our board seats to drive growth. Our initial investment
can range from $5M to $15M, depending on your need. We keep capital
in reserve for our companies, so our investment dollars can scale
with your growth.
In both technology and healthcare, Scale Venture Partners targets
a handful of market themes -- emerging customer needs or technology
capabilities -- that drive strong secular growth across multiple
specific markets for years to come. Our focus brings you understanding
and insight based on our real-world experience in related markets.
For example, we've invested in a series of successful software-as-a-service
companies since 1999 that have created many billions of dollars
of market value.
Within these themes, we examine specific market opportunities,
emphasizing primary research with incumbents and startups, customers,
and the larger ecosystem. Often, our best investments are companies
we proactively contacted. The investment insights and networks
developed from our market assessments show us where, when and how
to drive scale.

Tech Markets With Scale
We're actively pursuing investments in several areas where technology
shifts are causing spectacular secular growth. Consumers are changing
how and where they consume media, creating opportunities in hardware,
software, services and content. Marketers must reach their customers
in those new venues and with new voices. The value chain for creating
electronic devices has exploded and reassembled with new players.
Businesses have to adapt to new technical challenges and manage
the ensuing chaos, creating opportunity for software-as-a-service
and data center software and systems.

Healthcare Markets With Scale
ScaleVP knows which business models work in healthcare. We had
early insight into the shift from unproven compounds to drugs with
known human safety and efficacy. We have aggressively pursued investments
where innovation, combinations with new delivery methods, and reduced
risk allow access to large markets. The aging population and explosion
of obesity, diabetes and related conditions create numerous investment
opportunities, both in drugs as well as in devices and services.
