My Homework: Turned in Late: )
Fund: Hummer Winblad Venture Partners
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-03-24
Recently pitched Hummer Winblad.
I decided to do a little research on their recent investments to see how relevant we were to their strategy (we're essentially an ecommerce company). Omniture (IPO) and Move Networks appear to be a couple hot investments (Utah has been good to Hummer Winblad!).
Here are their investments from 2007 and so far in 2008:
Aria Systems - Billing/customer management - Enterprise
BayNote - Recommendation engine - Enterprise
BSG Alliance - Big and hard to understand - Enterprise
Cenzic - Developer stuff - Enterprise
CITTIO - Network monitoring - Enterprise
Communicado - Voice/collaboration - Enterprise
Elastra - Something to do with clouds - I think weather related
Five9 - Call centers - Enterprise
Global Netoptex - Servers & such - Enterprise
HubPages - Blog stuff - Consumer
Infopia - eCommerce - Enterprise
InMage Systems - Disaster recovery - Enterprise
Krillion - Shopping - Consumer (bingo!)
Kwiry - Text message notepad - Consumer
Move Networks - Video - Enterprise/enabler
MuleSource - Opensource - Enterprise
Sapias - Wireless - Enterprise
SlideRocket - Online presentations - Consumer
Star Analytics - Hyperion'ish - Enterprise
Tizor Systems - Data monitoring - Enterprise
VKernel - Looks complicated - Enterprise
Voltage Security - Security - Enterprise
Widgetbox - Widget directory - Consumer
Generally pretty heavy on the enterprise - but a few consumer/e-commerce companies mixed in.
Probably should have done this research before I went in there ;-)
