Frazier Technology Ventures

At Frazier Technology Ventures we target entrepreneurs interested in building category defining companies in the wireless, web services, software, and communications sectors. We apply our experiences from more than a dozen operating companies like Edmark, LSI Logic, Microsoft, RealNetworks and Visio, to develop the part nerships, teams and business strategies that fuel success.

Our collective operating expertise has been developed at both the top industry technology companies, and within the challenging environments of some of the Northwest’s most successful start ups. We pride ourselves on bringing the full weight of the partnership’s background to bear on each company in our portfolio.

Frazier Technology Ventures completed fundraising for its second institutional fund in 2003. This brought capi tal under management to $150 million. Frazier Technology Ventures has an operating relationship with Frazier Healthcare Ventures, (who has more than $1.2 billion under management) and together the two fund groups comprise the Pacific Northwest’s largest venture franchise.

Sigma Partners

Sigma Partners was founded in 1984 on the principle that people are the essential element of success. That is why Sigma focuses on identifying exceptional entrepreneurs with creative ideas and supporting them in building great companies.

Unlike some firms that hire venture capitalists based upon their business school degrees and finance backgrounds, we think it’s much more important to have partners with experience in the trenches starting and running entrepreneurial companies. This first-hand experience allows us to give early-stage companies both tactical and strategic guidance and access to a powerful business network. We work on behalf of our portfolio companies. We know business doesn’t always go as planned, but because we’ve invested in the best and brightest entrepreneurs, together we adapt and create success.

Our investment track record is proof. For over two decades Sigma Partners has invested in over a hundred early stage companies, and our portfolio has consistently outperformed. In 2005, we raised $400 million for Sigma Partners 7, bringing our total capital under management to over $1.5 billion. We continue to invest today in the same way we have since our inception, by identifying great entrepreneurs and collaborating with them to build strong businesses.
