Industry Opportunities

Early-Stage Focus
During the last two decades we've seen venture funds and investments increase tremendously. In the early '80s, a typical venture fund had an average capitalization of $10 - $25 million, with an average investment of $1 - $2 million. Today, venture fund capitalization is frequently hundreds of millions of dollars - with a commensurate increase in average investment size.

We believe the trend toward larger funds has stymied investments in smaller early-stage companies. To capitalize on the trend, Techfarm Ventures is committed to funding promising start-ups and has sized its fund accordingly.

Industry Insight
Techfarm Ventures is more willing to invest in early - and consequently riskier - ventures. We understand the amount of time and resources that are necessary to insure the success of early-stage companies. The operational backgrounds of our team members provide us with the experience, insight and confidence to successfully assist seed companies with their progression through the corporate development process.

Information Technology Sector Focus
Techfarm Ventures focuses on the core technologies within the information technology sector and concentrates on finding extraordinary fundamental technology opportunities within the general industry.

Our team members believe that focusing on more specific sectors significantly limits the potential of the fund by unnecessarily narrowing its scope. Our collective venture capital experience is broad enough to provide in-depth industry knowledge for our fundamental technologies fund. However, before funding any company we insure that our team has the experience to provide in-depth industry knowledge, and a long-term commitment, to each company.
