When we created Benchmark, we created a new kind of venture firm - one that's based on teamwork, superior service to entrepreneurs and an intense dedication to building technology companies of lasting value.
Results Through Teamwork
Unlike other venture firms where partners work independently and even compete for resources, we function as a team. Every full-time general partner is equal in terms of contribution and compensation. And, every partner is invested in each other's success.
This unique team approach gives our portfolio companies the benefit of having all of our experienced, well-connected partners working for them, not just one. Whether it's to help recruit executives, facilitate corporate partnerships, or get advice on strategic moves, each company has access to the combined resources of the entire firm.
Our emphasis on teamwork and providing quality service are big reasons why the industry's top entrepreneurs like Jeff Hawkins, Keith Krach, Martin Mickos, Philip Rosedale, Jagdeep Singh, Meg Whitman and Bob Young turn to Benchmark for help. It's also why we've been able to back more franchise technology companies in the last few years than any other firm in the business. |
