The venture capital partnership is headquartered in Menlo Park, California. Since its inception in 1981, USVP has invested over $3.7 billion across a wide range of sectors. Out of the 481 companies financed by USVP, 87 have completed an initial public offering. [1] HistoryFounded by Bill Bowes, Stuart Moldaw, and Robert Sackman, U.S. Venture Partners was an early entrant to the burgeoning venture capital industry in Silicon Valley in the late 1970s and early 1980s. As of 2015, the firm was investing out of its eleventh fund, USVP XI.[2] Composed of former venture investors, entrepreneurs, CEOs, technologists, corporate executives, financial professionals, and industry domain experts, USVP has a combined 150 years of investment and operating experience with backgrounds across a wide array of sectors. The investment team is composed of [https://www.crunchbase.com/person/casey-tansey#section-overview Casey Tansey],[https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevekrausz Steve Krausz],[https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-root-md-b3b26b56 Jonathan Root], [https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickusvp Rick Lewis], [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacques-benkoski-ab9133 Jacques Benkoski], and [https://www.linkedin.com/in/dafinat Dafina Toncheva][3] USVP offers entrepreneurs counsel from experts across various industries, networking opportunities, technical strengths, and access to capital from “blue chip” limited partners. From 2010-2015, it was estimated that USVP distributed over one billion dollars to its limited partners. During this time period, twenty-four companies backed by USVP had profitable exits and six attained greater than billion-dollar valuations through an IPO or M&A. USVP invests in North America and Israel in companies that see the US as their primary market. USVP has long invested in Israel and since 2005 has double down with a highly-selective "Israel Strategy" which has generated a 7x return on invested capital since their first investment in Israel. [4] The firm makes investments between $5 million and $10 million in markets with revenue potential exceeding $1 billion. USVP prefers to invest in companies with a market greater than $300 million and avoids companies in direct competition with each other. On average, USVP will invest for a period of three to ten years.
