Hummer Winblad Venture Partners was founded in 1989 as the first
venture capital fund to invest exclusively in software companies.
Through our history, we’ve had the opportunity to invest in the
pioneers and leaders of several generations of software applications,
architectures, delivery methods and business models.
We’ve helped entrepreneurs build companies in desktop software,
embedded systems, client-server, distributed network computing,
internet, and software as a service. Our earliest portfolio companies
started shipping software on floppy disks and today we’re investors in
pioneering companies in on-demand computing. We’ve seen everything from
shrink-wrap licenses to enterprise-wide "big deals" to subscription
pricing; from direct sales to highly-leveraged channel strategies.
In other words, because software is all we do, we bring tremendous
value to highly talented people who want to build great software
companies. We hope our website tells you a lot about us, but please
feel free to contact any of us directly.
