Quote

  • This is not the first and will not be the last measure that we are going to take. We are serious about changing the rules and having a better environment for entrepreneurship to thrive…

    –Mariano Mayer

  • We are very careful about not overcapitalizing companies.

    –Alan Patricof

  • Making an investment decision comes down to the people.

    –Alex Rossi, Managing Partner, LIV Capital

  • We look at the longevity, the fit, deal attribution by team member. We look at their performance as well as how they focus and what their expertise is…What differentiates them from their peers?

    –Adam Ritter, Vice President, Harbourvest

  • The most helpful thing that an investor can do for an entrepreneur is connecting them to great people, and then taking them to experts and connecting them to early customers and partners.

    –Cyrus Massoumi

  • We never do a deal alone, never, not one single deal in our entire portfolio are we the only investor. We always have someone else.

    –Alan Patricof

  • Empathy is one of the things we value a lot.

    –Michael Nicklas, Partner, Valor Capital
