The Advantage of Investors Who Lead
M/C Venture Partners is the quintessential lead investor, combining broad company building knowledge with deep domain expertise to guide companies from early stages to profitability and ultimately to successful exits. We take an active role in our investments, working closely and effectively with management teams to deliver success and strong investment returns. Our investment style is characterized by several key elements:

The firm specializes in the early identification of the most promising emerging services sectors within communications, technology and media. We proactively seek out well-positioned entrepreneurial managers and companies that fit our thesis. We back aggressive, insightful executives who have the capacity to build substantial companies and to create significant shareholder value.

Active Investor:

The proactive role we take in assisting management has contributed significantly to our long term track record of top quartile performance.
