Operations Committee
One of our core philosophies is to provide active guidance to early stage entrepreneurs. To that end, all of our Investment Committee members and many of our Limited Partners serve on the operations committee. This can manifest anywhere on the spectrum of occasional consultant to dedicated board member, depending on the needs of the portfolio company.
