Helpful Team
Fund: Intel Capital
Posted by video joe on 2009-04-23
Intel has backed a few companies that I've worked with. I think they are good people (Sita Vasan is great), but the senior team seems unwilling to make earlier stage bets. Since they can probably add a lot of value in earlier stages, and B rounds will probably get filled out by bigger players, I think they should spend more time nurturing smaller players and less throwing their money in with everybody else. That being said, I'd recommend them because I think they are respected and well connected - VCs often try to tell you they're not a real fund but I think that's ridiculous. They have plenty of green and can help their portfolio companies, and have other motivations beyond instant profit which isn't always a bad thing.
