- About my company:
Novak Biddle Venture Partners was established in 1997 to provide equity financing and assistance to the management of young, information technology companies. NBVP is backed by a number of the country’s most prestigious limited partners, and has over $580 million under management. We seek investment opportunities where the combination of ideas, dollars, experience, and relationships can create long-term, sustainable value. While we believe that the vast majority of business plans we receive have many of the makings of viable companies, we are looking for additional key features in the businesses in which we invest.
NBVP prefers to be the first institutional capital brought into a business with a desired investment range of $100,000 to $15,000,000. While we focus on information technology companies in the very early stage through first round, we will consider financing later stage opportunities and spinouts where we can add significant value. We also will syndicate larger or later stage rounds through our limited partners and other firms in the venture community.
