Powerful collaborative cross border network supports investee companies

Greenstone Venture Partners offers entrepreneurs access to a powerful cross border collaborative network of technology experts and venture capitalists. The network was created to help deliver the highest calibre of service to entrepreneurs. Close working relationships with the members of this network enable us to provide ready access to capital and offer our portfolio companies an extensive range of ancillary services.

Each member of our network has a personal interest in helping Greenstone's investee companies meet the financial and operating challenges encountered in managing growth in a today's technology and business environment.

Special Limited Partners (SLPs)

Greenstone's SLPs are experienced executives from technology companies and investment groups in Silicon Valley and New York City. Proven entrepreneurs and leaders, they have collectively built technology companies valued at more than $20 billion. Each of these individuals is able to make a valuable contribution to Greenstone's venture capital process by virtue of their:

• Track record of success
• Intimate knowledge of their industry
• Willingness to personally assist our portfolio companies
  

Our SLPs have supported Greenstone since its formation by providing insight, a wealth of knowledge and, most importantly, an endorsement of our philosophy. They complement Greenstone's principals and provide a seamless connection to international financiers, strategic partners and leading technology managers.

We're proud to be closely associated with the following individuals:
