What our portfolio CEOs say“From the moment we met the partners at Trinity Ventures, they showed deep respect for our management team. They provided us with dedicated resources to help us improve our operations and empowered us with information essential to our exit strategy. Their commitment to us paid off when PhotoBucket was purchased by News Corp in 2007.”  -Alex Welch/CEO, PhotoBucket (Acquired by Fox)

“Many venture capital firms talk about partnership but Trinity truly lives it.  During the journey toward our successful public offering, the tone was always, ‘we have challenges and opportunities’ it was never “you have a problem” or “what are you going to do”. It was always we. Much of the success SciQuest has demonstrated can be attributed directly to the guidance, support and  encouragement Trinity has provided during our partnership.” - Stephen Wiehe/CEO, SciQuest (SQI)

“Trinity Ventures funded Extreme Networks when it was little more than three guys with an idea and a passion to build a great company. They supported us through every stage of the business through our IPO and reaching almost $500 million in annual sales. The resources they brought to the table and the doors they opened were invaluable.” -Gordon Stitt/CEO, Extreme Networks (EXTR)

“As a first time CEO, I turned to the team at Trinity Ventures for guidance and mentoring. They struck the perfect balance between coaching me in my new role and providing me ample room to run the company. Without Trinity Ventures as a partner, I have no doubt we wouldn’t have been as successful as we are.” -Rich Boyle/President and CEO, LoopNet (LOOP)
