Our current portfolio consists of over 40 companies, including market leaders such as SecondMarket, Pinterest, Knewton, Lot18, Lumosity, and Shopify to younger, emerging companies like Aereo, Tapad, Jirafe, LollyWollyDoodle, NewsCred, Meteor Entertainment and more. We have been fortunate to work with the incredible entrepreneurs at Riot Games (acquired by Tencent), Boomi (acquired by DELL), and SPADAC (acquired by GeoEye). Select historical investments include Duck Creek Technologies (Acquired by Accenture); Netgear (NASDAQ: NTGR); StubHub (Acquired by eBay); Netegrity (Acquired by CA); OutlookSoft (Acquired by SAP); and Navic Networks (Acquired by Microsoft).
