About Us
VantagePoint Venture Partners’ mission is to fund the transformative companies of the 21st century. Our strategy is clear: Provide cutting-edge technology with the resources—whatever it takes—to commercialize Big Opportunities. And stick with it. It takes time to change the world. But a look at our focus and our companies shows that our strategy is working. Many of our portfolio companies are already leaders in their fields. We expect nothing less.
We have $4.5 billion of committed capital and since our inception in 1996, we have made substantial investments in Information Technology, Healthcare and Asia. Our expertise in these arenas gives us a foundation of knowledge that is transferable and complementary to new industries like CleanTech. We were the first large venture capital firm to recognize the opportunity here and have since committed $1 billion for this burgeoning opportunity.
“The goal inherent in our search for clean technologies is very exciting: a delightfully diverse, safe, healthy and just world with clean air, water, soil and power - economically, equitably, ecologically and elegantly enjoyed by all.”
—William McDonough
