Investment Philosophy
Markets may come and go, but people stand the test of time. Sigma Partners invests in people first, markets and products second. We know growing a company is challenging and believe it’s the competence and character of the people that create success. Hence, we look for talented entrepreneurs who have drive, integrity, fortitude, versatility, and resourcefulness.
In addition to exceptional entrepreneurs, we look for defensible technology in ample market segments. We consider current market conditions and competitive offerings, and look for products that entice customer and brand loyalty. We seek opportunities in diverse markets including software, communications, semiconductors, storage, mobile computing, electronics, infrastructure, and software and Internet services.
Focusing on early-stage investing, we are typically the first venture investor and key board members. Our initial investment typically ranges from $2-8 million, and we invest in businesses throughout the United States.
To accelerate the funding process, one partner usually stewards a potential opportunity through the entire funding lifecycle -- from the first meeting to taking a board seat. In keeping with Sigma’s collaborative culture, all investment decisions are made collectively by the entire partnership.
Please keep in mind that a referral is the best way to approach Sigma Partners and, therefore, unsolicited plans may not get a response.
