Why do we call ourselves Leapfrog?
The
answer is simple. We believe that the most successful company
in any industry gains a disproportionately higher
return for its shareholders. Our mission is to help our portfolio
companies Leapfrog their competitors and achieve industry-leading
levels of competitive and market performance as quickly as
possible.
What does it take to Leapfrog the
competition?
Success
isn't easy. Opportunity, skill, resources, relationships,
commitment, and execution are all needed to
succeed. We know. We are all experienced operating executives
of technology companies as well as successful venture investors.
We can recognize the patterns that signal opportunities or
risks in a small, high growth company. We have the resources
and relationships to help entrepreneurs create the key alliances
that will allow them to achieve victory early and convincingly.
We know what entrepreneurs need
to succeed.
Every
entrepreneur wants an investor who can help build the business.
What does this mean? Certainly it is about advice
and experience. These are the intangibles. Then there are
the tangibles - the introductions to key customers and strategic
partners, the access to distribution channels, the assistance
in attracting and recruiting key executives - these are the
immediate advantages that help Leapfrog the competition.
We have built an extensive network of relationships
which can be called upon to accelerate the success of our
portfolio companies.
Leapfrogging takes teamwork.
When you work with us, you work with all of us, not just
a single partner. All the partners work closely with all
our companies to ensure that all
of our collective resources are being matched to the immediate
needs of our portfolio companies.
Leapfrog is selective.
This level of commitment and involvement has an impact. We can
only focus on a select number of companies; therefore, we
have high standards and high expectations. Frankly, we are
biased towards entrepreneurs who share this commitment to
excellence.
