EARLY STAGE VENTURE CAPITAL FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Windward Ventures is a classic venture capital partnership organized in 1997 to produce superior investment returns by providing capital and management assistance to early stage, high growth companies in Southern California. The firm manages a dedicated pool of capital on behalf of its Limited Partners. The Limited Partners of Windward Ventures include corporate pension funds, university endowments, professional money management firms, and wealthy individuals. Our Limited Partners also include current and former executives from some of the leading technology companies in Southern California.

Southern California has the third largest concentration of entrepreneurial companies in the country. Companies in this dynamic geographic area are currently underserved by the venture capital community. We concentrate our efforts on those industries where Southern California has strong entrepreneurial communities, including telecom/datacom, electronics, semiconductors, systems engineering, software, internet infrastructure, and medical devices.

Windward Ventures will generally be the lead investor in early stage companies. Our goal is to work with management to build significant companies. The General Partners of Windward Ventures have extensive experience as venture capital investors, senior managers, and entrepreneurs. We also have extensive relationships with other venture capital investors and work with our companies to meet their complete financing requirements.

Our typical investment is between $3.0 and $5.0 million over the life of an investment. Initial investments may be as little as $250,000. We typically work with other venture firms in a syndicated investment.
