Venture Capital and how to find, approach and work with VC firms

vSpring Capital is a sponsor of The 2006 University Private Equity Summit. 

vSpring is a traditional early-stage venture capital firm with over $180 million of committed capital under management. Specifically, we target information technology and life sciences companies headquartered in the Intermountain West region. We look for companies with the potential to transform their markets and create lasting value. Our primary areas of focus include enterprise software, networking and communications, security software, Internet, mobile computing, drug discovery, drug delivery, diagnostics, and medical devices, all markets where the firm has deep experience.

Our strategy is to be the first investor in these companies and to provide a level of operational assistance that creates additional value. We take a labor-intensive, service-oriented approach by making early introductions to key customers and strategic partners and helping to recruit top executives and co-investors.

So what makes vSpring qualified to help? Experience. Collectively, the vSpring team has founded, served as senior officers or board members of over 75 companies. Combined, the directors have a history of successful company leadership and private equity investments that span over 60 years. As a result, our team has the resources, decision-making experience, and relationships to meet the demands of today's entrepreneurs.
