Venrock has provided funding and services for entrepreneurs with breakthrough ideas in technology, healthcare and energy since 1969. Our entrepreneurs have charted new advancements in cancer and HIV treatments, powered semiconductors and the digital era, secured our information technology infrastructure, pioneered on-line advertising, delighted consumers and most recently, generating power through alternative means.
Venrock investments span information technology, healthcare, media and energy sectors. While opportunities are viewed individually, elements common to all of our investments include:
* - Capable management teams with an entrepreneurial vision, drive, and pertinent experience
* - Products which address dynamic markets with high growth rates and substantial size
* - Leading edge or breakthrough technology with a proprietary and/or a leadership position
* - Thoughtful assessment of the risks of the target market sector and those inherent in early stage companies
We prefer to work with entrepreneurs and their enterprises in their earliest form. The majority of Venrock investments are seed or first round, and range from investments of a couple hundred thousand to $10 million or more. Second round investments are considered where there is demonstrated progress toward market leadership.
