The firm was founded in 1980 and is headquartered in Menlo Park, California. Its investment strategy focuses on identifying and backing 'legendary companies' that have achieved product-market fit and are poised for significant scaling, typically at the Series B stage and beyond.

They specialize in sectors such as AI & Machine Learning, Enterprise Software & SaaS, Infrastructure & DevOps, Healthcare & HealthTech, Fintech & Payments, Consumer & Gaming, and Security & Cybersecurity. The firm primarily invests in North America and Europe, leading or co-leading investments. Their typical check size for initial Series B investments ranges from $5 million to $15 million, with a broader range of $1 million to $25 million, and for later-stage growth companies, investments are between $20 million and $100 million.
