FIRM DESCRIPTION: We believe that as innovation cycles compress, there is an unprecedented opportunity for small teams with limited resources to create disruptive market impacts. Javelin Venture Partners' investment professionals are proven new-technology entrepreneurs with the ability to identify exceptional businesses and management teams, and help them achieve great success. The firm operates with the culture of a start-up and with an emphasis on being a true partner to entrepreneurs. We invest in early-stage tech companies with incredible potential, managed by teams of energetic, trustworthy and capable leaders. Key focus areas include digital media, Internet commerce, mobile and healthcare IT. We look for advanced bleeding-edge innovations, where the addressable market size is substantial and strong competitive advantages exist. Our typical investment is between $1 to $2 million, with reserves for follow-on investments. We will also consider smaller seed investments for unique companies just getting started. Our office is located in San Francisco, but we invest throughout the world. We consider ourselves very active investors, with a long-term outlook and the objective of creating substantial value.
