Morgenthaler Ventures has worked with outstanding entrepreneurs to build valuable companies for over 39 years. We have $2.5 billion under management, including $450 million in our current fund (capitalized in October of 2005). Today, our venture capital team focuses its investments in two areas: Life sciences and information technology. We are headquartered in Menlo Park, CA, with offices in Boulder, CO; Boston, MA; Cleveland, OH and Princeton, NJ. Our passion for company building has earned us the respect of our partners and exceptional results for our investors.
Our goal is simple: To partner with industry-leading entrepreneurs and provide them with the highest level of support possible as they build their companies. We have a team of 11 investment professionals who sit on an average of five to seven boards or less. This allows us to provide the active, value-added services required to help our portfolio companies grow rapidly. We have followed this winning philosophy with more than 250 companies.
We expect to invest between $5 and $15 million total in each company over several rounds. Initial investments can be as small as $500 thousand. Of our recent investments, 80% have been in Series A. We focus our energies in two investment areas: Information technology and life sciences.
