The company provides investments to startups, primarily in SaaS and marketplace industries.[2] In the beginning of his company, Mr. Wertz raised his first, $18.7-million fund from outside investors in 2012.[3] In October of last year (2014), Version One announced the receipt of its second investment of $35 Million by Northleaf Venture Catalyst Fund and LP BDC Capital.[2][4] Up to this point, Version One Ventures has made investments in many companies [5] including Figure1, Mattermark,[6] Wattpad, Volley[7] and others.[8] Company historyVersion One Ventures was founded in July 2012.[3] Boris WertzBoris Wertz started as an entrepreneur in 1999 founding the German company Just Books. This company was later purchased by Amazon.com in 2008 (a company Wertz couldn't compete with[9]).[10] which spurred Wertz to make the transition from entrepreneur to investor. He has now been an investor for approximately seven years,[11] and is on the board for the firm Andreessen Howitz[1] based in Silicon Valley. He is "not the best known venture capitalist in the world," as the venture capitalist scene is difficult to enter.[12] He's been publicly recognized for his entrepreneurial achievements.[13] References1. ^1 Darrell Etherington [https://techcrunch.com/2014/10/23/early-stage-investor-version-one-ventures-closes-35m-second-fund/ "Early Stage Investor Version One Ventures Closes $35M Second Fund"] "TechCrunch", 2014.
