Trinity Ventures Ajay Chopra General Partner I was an entrepreneur for most of my career before joining Trinity. I was fortunate to co-found Pinnacle Systems, a pioneering digital media company, which<br />

grew from my living room to a $350M revenue global company <strong>and</strong> went public on NASDAQ. I have walked in an entrepreneur’s shoes so I can feel what they<br />

are going through as they put their heart <strong>and</strong> soul into building an enduring company. I think of myself as a VC with an entrepreneur’s heart.<br />

Trinity Ventures Noel Fenton Founding PartnerPrior to co-founding Trinity, I was with three venture backed tech companies <strong>and</strong> served as CEO of two of them, Covalent Systems <strong>and</strong> Acurex. All were high<br />

growth companies that were eventually acquired. My longest CEO gig (10 years) was with Acurex, which reached revenues of $65 million during my tenure.<br />

Trinity Ventures Matt Goldstein Principal Out of college I spent several years designing <strong>and</strong> implementing CRM <strong>and</strong> incentive comp software solutions at Fortune 500 insurance <strong>and</strong><br />

telecommunications companies. On a whim, <strong>and</strong> in direct opposition to rational decision-making during the 2008 financial meltdown, I joined a venture-backed<br />

startup in San Diego. We raised $110 Million from a h<strong>and</strong>ful of well-known firms to launch a new car company — I was responsible for all enterprise software<br />

<strong>and</strong> systems, as well as contributing to some of the in-vehicle technology decisions. We failed in less than 4 years <strong>and</strong> I went to business school to pursue my<br />

dream of once-again being employable.


Trinity Ventures Nina Labatt Administrative Partner A big part of my job is to make sure the General Partners have maximum time available to focus on their portfolio companies. That means I focus on Trinity’s<br />

finances <strong>and</strong> reporting to our own Limited Partners, legal <strong>and</strong> transaction support, IT, HR, vendor management, etc. – basically running the business side of<br />

Trinity itself. I also love providing some finance <strong>and</strong> operational perspective to our portfolio company CFOs <strong>and</strong> CEOs <strong>and</strong> connecting them with the great<br />

service providers I’ve gotten to know over the years.<br />

Trinity Ventures<br />

Trinity Ventures<br />

Karan Meh<strong>and</strong>ru General Partner I take a thematic approach to investing <strong>and</strong> focus on B2B companies that are capitalizing on secular trends like consumerization of the enterprise, Software<br />

as a Service, Big Data <strong>and</strong> mobile. The advents in cloud computing, SaaS as a delivery <strong>and</strong> consumption model, online customer acquisition techniques <strong>and</strong><br />

advancements in UX <strong>and</strong> UI have paved the way for massive disruption in the enterprise, <strong>and</strong> opened up the mid-market in almost every vertical, which<br />

continues to be a core focus area for me.<br />

Patricia Nakache General Partner My path to venture capital was serendipitous, so I advise young people to plan their careers but also be open to interesting but perhaps orthogonal<br />

opportunities when they present themselves. In 1999, I had recently left McKinsey & Company to join the dot-com revolution <strong>and</strong> was working as director of<br />

marketing at a startup. On the side, for fun, I was writing freelance for FORTUNE magazine about some of the innovative approaches to management being<br />

pioneered by exciting Silicon Valley tech companies. For my reporting, I spoke to many venture capitalists <strong>and</strong> hit it off with the Trinity team. They asked me to<br />

join them, <strong>and</strong> I was immediately enthralled by the caliber of entrepreneurs I had the good fortune to meet <strong>and</strong> their new business ideas. And here I am,15<br />

years later, still loving every day.<br />

Trinity Ventures Larry Orr General Partner We all tend to select people to work with who may be too much like ourselves. While team members must share vision, passion <strong>and</strong> core values, in my<br />

experience, the best teams (<strong>and</strong> boards) have diverse functional expertise, as well as differing styles, perspectives <strong>and</strong> biases. I find it exciting to see<br />

visionaries, problem solvers <strong>and</strong> devil’s advocates challenging each other in a trust-based environment.<br />

Trinity Ventures Dan Scholnick General Partner I am particularly interested in macro trends in the enterprise <strong>and</strong> infrastructure software world, specifically, the transition to cloud computing <strong>and</strong> away from<br />

legacy architectures. I fully believe that the future of data center architecture <strong>and</strong> the future of application architecture look like cloud computing architecture.<br />

It’s scaled out, it’s utility-based <strong>and</strong> globally-distributed. The entire IT ecosystem is going to transform to cloud architecture over time. This shift will be of the<br />

order of magnitude of the shift from mainframe to client-server that we saw in the 90’s. This is the type of change we only see every couple of decades <strong>and</strong> it<br />

offers a big opportunity for startups.<br />

the leader in identity theft protection, where he oversaw product, technology, operations, business development <strong>and</strong> corporate development as well as its<br />

fraud analytics subsidiary ID Analytics. Prior to this, Schwark was responsible for all of the Mastercard rewards <strong>and</strong> offers initiatives around the world.<br />

Trinity Ventures Fred Wang General Partner My primary focus is technology innovation in business-to-business sectors, specifically around infrastructure (security, cloud computing, mobile, networking)<br />

<strong>and</strong> applications (software-as-a-service). Advances in IT such as virtualization, cloud computing, <strong>and</strong> mobile devices have fundamentally impacted how<br />

companies run their business <strong>and</strong> how they architect their infrastructure, creating huge new opportunities for start-up companies in those sectors. The<br />

challenges of managing <strong>and</strong> securing these increasingly critical business assets are exciting ones for new technology companies to try to solve. Additionally,<br />

the new lower-cost models of customer acquisition <strong>and</strong> technology development have created a “perfect storm” for entrepreneurship in this area.<br />

True Ventures Adam D’Augelli Principal Adam D'Augelli is a Principal at True Ventures. Growing up, Adam was drawn to startups <strong>and</strong> technology – early on as a founder of a donation–based record<br />

led the creation of "Digital Frontiers," a course at the University of Florida exploring how the Internet <strong>and</strong> technology are changing the global business<br />

True Ventures Christiaan VorkinkVice President Christiaan joined True Ventures in 2008 after spending eight years working in <strong>and</strong> around early stage technology companies. His first foray into<br />

Hampshire where they grew up. After graduating college, he taught history for two years in suburban New York before moving to Boston to work in a variety of<br />

roles in support of local startups <strong>and</strong> in finance. Prior to joining True, Christiaan was a senior analyst in the venture capital research group at Cambridge<br />

ran as CEO. Jeff was also one of the founding partners of the user experience consulting group Adaptive Path. While there, he lead Measure Map, which was<br />

acquired by Google. During his time at Google, he redesigned Google Analytics <strong>and</strong> lead the UX team for Google’s apps. Much earlier, Jeff was part of the<br />

founding web team at Wired Magazine, where he helped build HotWired, Web Monkey, Wired News <strong>and</strong> many other sites. During that time, he authored two<br />

books, “HotWired Style” <strong>and</strong> “The Art <strong>and</strong> Science of Web Design.”<br />

True Ventures Jon Callaghan Founder Jon is an early stage venture capitalist <strong>and</strong> a founder of True Ventures. Jon has founded three of his own companies <strong>and</strong> has been in the venture capital<br />

True Ventures Toni Schneider Partner Toni is a Partner at True. From 2006-2014 he was CEO of Automattic where he led WordPress.com to become a top 10 global internet destination with close<br />

to a billion monthly visitors. At Automattic, Toni also helped create a new type of startup with over 300 employees working together in an "office optional",<br />

distributed fashion from homes <strong>and</strong> co-working spaces in over 40 countries. His career in technology began as a software engineer at Crystal River<br />

Engineering where he built 3D audio simulators for NASA <strong>and</strong> a VP of Technology at Aureal Semiconductor (acquired by Creative Labs). He joined the world<br />

of startups as the co-founder of Uplister, a venture-backed music recommendation startup in early 2000. It was his role as CEO of Oddpost, however, that<br />

may have impacted his career path most significantly. Yahoo! acquired Oddpost in 2004, which formed the basis of the new Yahoo! Mail used by over 250<br />

million people around the world. Toni joined Yahoo! as a VP <strong>and</strong> created the Yahoo! Developer Network. While at True <strong>and</strong> Automattic, he also found time to<br />

Christopher J. Alden has started <strong>and</strong> run several successful media, technology, & Internet companies. He co-founded Red Herring, “the bible of Silicon<br />

Valley,” out of his home in the early 1990s <strong>and</strong> was the COO or CEO for most of its tenure, building it to a $100M revenue business with nearly 400<br />

employees. He then became an EIR at TPG where he started Rojo, an early Web 2.0 RSS company that pioneered new concepts in social media<br />

consumption & sharing. He sold Rojo to Six Apart in 2006 where he ran the Professional Division <strong>and</strong> was promoted to CEO in 2007; overseeing the 200-<br />

employee company until its sale to SAY Media in late 2010. He has since been investing in, advising, <strong>and</strong> incubating startups.<br />

General Partner With over 30 years of venture capital experience, Steve has led or co-led the firm's investments in Trusteer (acquired by IBM), Guidewire Software (IPO),<br />

Xylan (IPO), Epic Design (IPO), Check Point Software (IPO), Imperva (IPO), New Focus (IPO), Savings.com (acquired by Cox Target Media), Vontu (acquired<br />

Xirrus <strong>and</strong> ZEFR.<br />

General Partner Rick Lewis sees it as a great privilege to work with entrepreneurs. “Successful venture investing requires attracting <strong>and</strong> partnering with entrepreneurs who<br />

have the knowledge, talent, <strong>and</strong> determination to bring disruptive businesses to fruition. This business is all about the people, <strong>and</strong> you have to earn the right<br />

to work with the best.”<br />

General Partner As a physician, Jon Root evaluates investments in the medical field with a practitioner's eye. A common investment criteria when evaluating business<br />

opportunities in the biotechnology or medical devices fields is: does this solution meet, or begin to address, an unmet clinical need? Jon goes beyond that: is<br />

the innovation easily usable?<br />

General Partner Casey Tansey joined USVP as a general partner in April 2005. A veteran of the medical device industry, Casey brings over 25 years of entrepreneurial, earlystage<br />

medical device <strong>and</strong> seasoned operating experience to USVP.<br />

An international businessman, Jacques was born in Belgium, educated in Israel <strong>and</strong> the U.S., held executive positions in Europe <strong>and</strong> the U.S. prior to moving<br />

permanently to the Bay Area more than 15 years ago. Jacques sees himself as an innovator-creator. He likes to roll up his sleeves <strong>and</strong> get to work helping<br />

companies grow. He is often sitting down with entrepreneurs at companies he is presently working with, or even with those in which he is yet to invest.<br />

Sharpening business strategies, brainstorming for new ideas <strong>and</strong> polishing execution plans is what Jacques enjoys the most <strong>and</strong> ultimately what led him to<br />

USVP.<br />

A very recent addition to the team, Dafina, confesses some envy towards entrepreneurs, “because they are so brave, constantly beating the odds with a<br />

relentless conviction in their ideas <strong>and</strong> abilities”. To bravery <strong>and</strong> perseverance she adds that creativity, incurable optimism, a willingness not to fit in, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

desire to leave a mark define the successful entrepreneurs Dafina has encountered. Her colleagues in turn describe her as empathetic <strong>and</strong> intuitive with a<br />

tendency towards impatience, when results are not realized.<br />

U.S. Venture Partners Paul Matteucci Partner "The great thing about being an entrepreneur or a venture capitalist is that one gets to view many of the biggest problems the world is facing as opportunities<br />

for creativity <strong>and</strong> solutions," says Paul Matteucci.<br />
