I am a partner with Quest Venture Partners and we invest in early stage companies with great ideas, and even greater people behind them. We typically are the first institutional money in, investing between $100k-$1.5mm, with our sweet spot being around $500k. We believe in working closely with our portfolio companies in helping them to succeed and so I spend much of my time working with our portfolio.

I had the pleasure of working with Sudha, and Siva for three years on the board of Vivu as the company grew from a small startup to one that was successfully sold to Polycom (PLCM).
