VantagePoint Venture Partners’ mission is to fund the transformative companies of the 21st century. Our strategy is clear: Provide cutting-edge technology with the resources — whatever it takes — to commercialize Big Opportunities. And stick with it. It takes time to change the world. But a look at our focus and our companies shows that our strategy is working. Many of our portfolio companies are already leaders in their fields. We expect nothing less.

We have $4.5 billion of committed capital and since our inception in 1996, we have made substantial investments in Information Technology, Healthcare and Asia. Our expertise in these arenas gives us a foundation of knowledge that is transferable and complementary to new industries like CleanTech. We were the first large venture capital firm to recognize the opportunity here and have since committed $1 billion for this burgeoning opportunity.

Grants: 1) AllVoices, $3,000,000 (2009)
