NeoCarta Ventures is a leading venture capital firm with offices in San Francisco and Boston. We bring capital, experience, and strategic relationships to the companies we back. Entrepreneurs choose to partner with NeoCarta because of our strong technology understanding, operations experience, relevant relationships with major corporations, and proven track record. NeoCarta's managing directors have financed nearly 100 private technology companies, more than 40 of which have succeeded in going public and/or merged with other companies. We primarily invest in the following four types of businesses: software, hardware, networking, and wireless. We invest at various stages of a company's development, from the first round of financing to an expansion round for a company that has been funded through earlier stages by founders or other investors. Our typical first round investment is between $1 million and $5 million; and we are prepared to invest $10 million or more over the life of any particular company.
