Investment Criteria
New Venture Partners finds those opportunities that are waiting to happen within every company.
I know the difficulty bridging the gap between the corporate world and the venture world. From my work with many VCs, I see that New Venture Partners really shows the understanding, the skills, the approach, and the patience to partner with us to find great spinout opportunities, launch them, and build them. They create value as they go through the process.
