About Odyssey

Our firm provides management expertise and capital to small and mid-sized tech and telecom companies. We invest in both early-stage companies and in later-stage turnarounds. We are especially interested in situations where we can also be helpful with other things like recruiting, follow-on fund raising, joint ventures, and strategic advice.

We're not a typical venture firm. First of all, we invest only our own capital. Second, we take an active role in helping our companies succeed by helping with things like recruiting, accounting, legal, facilities, strategic planning, M&A, etc.

During the past five years, we've focused our investment strategy on two types of companies:

• Early stage: We like to partner with companies and entrepreneurs with great ideas who are in search of capital. No business opportunity is too early for us. In this category we're especially interested in broadband, wireless services, web media, and data mining.

• Turnarounds and accelerators: We acquire or invest in more mature businesses that need some catalyst to accelerate their growth. These are sometimes standalone businesses and sometimes business units inside larger companies. They often need capital, additional management, strategic focusing and attention.

If you are an entrepreneur with an idea or an executive at a more mature company with an interest in restructuring, refinancing, or divesting, please contact us. Call us at 650-470-7500 or email any of us at the addresses here.
