About ONSET Ventures
ONSET Ventures was founded in 1984 to develop an early stage investment model that would increase the chance of success among venture-backed start-ups. Over the years, ONSET Ventures refined an investment model that relies on two ingredients our experience shows as critical to start-up success: mentoring through the active support and participation of a partner with both start-up and large company experience, and early emphasis on developing the company's business model. With this differentiated approach, the firm has launched four successful funds over the past 15 years. Our original funding came from a group of large Silicon Valley venture funds and 31 Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and CEO's. In 1989, we transitioned into an independently funded and managed firm with the launch of our first institutional venture fund. Throughout our history, our focus on seed and start-up investing has remained consistent across funds. ONSET Ventures has financed nearly 100 new businesses across the years, from the onset. We'd like to help you build yours. |
