T2VC is rewriting the rules of venture capital.
We believe that the future of venture capital is happening. Right now. And T2VC is among the leaders shaping the next wave.
Conventional wisdom says that innovation is limited by geography, that venture capital and government can never mix, and that early-stage venture capital can no longer succeed as an investment class. Well, we believe that conventional wisdom is simply wrong.
Innovation is Global. We specialize in finding breakthrough technologies at the great universities that aren’t necessarily called Harvard or Stanford. Billions of dollars of cutting-edge research are conducted at leading universities around the nation and the world. Because almost all of the world’s venture capital happens to reside in a few places, however, most innovation never gets a fair shot at the commercial market. We help bridge that divide.
Government Matters. We understand
how venture capital and public policy interact. The venture capital industry
has been built on public investments in research and commercialization in a
regulatory framework that allows the formation of risk capital. We have a
special skill set, that combines experience in mentoring hundreds of startups while
also serving dozens of governmental clients over the years. We can
leverage this understanding for the benefit of our companies and partners.
A Different Way of Early-Stage. We find early-stage
investments that are "a cut above" the rest. Some of our networks are based on one-of-a-kind programs with key federal agencies,
universities, and governments. These are not
just friendly relationships. These are hands-on, actively engaged mentoring
programs that mentor hundreds of startups a year across the
nation and the world. These startups typically rank in the top 5-10% of all
technologies funded by competitive peer-reviewed programs, and we carefully
select those that have the highest commercial potential.
We give our companies the resources to succeed. We can invest alongside the
top-tier funds in the world, and we have access to hundreds of major
corporations and strategic partners.
A Partner to Innovators.
Although T2VC is a revolutionary approach to venture investing, we still
work with startup companies the old-fashioned way. With integrity, respect,
and as a partner.
We carefully select a handful of companies that we feel represent the
cutting edge of technology and that have tremendous commercial potential. We
prefer to work with technologies that have received the rigorous peer review
of government research funds. Sometimes, we negotiate a way to serve as an
extended member of your business team, sometimes as your interim CEO or
other executive manager. We set out milestones to grow your business. We
want to work with companies where our interests our mutually aligned.
We have experience in what it takes to grow startup technology businesses.
We will patiently guide your company through each step of the process of
business growth and offer our help when we feel it will make a difference.
