Company Description:
Since 1988, we have taken a sector focused and stage diversified approach to investing in exceptional companies. We invest in seed, early and growth stage companies in the communications, consumer, digital media, healthcare and information technology markets. Highland is almost always the first institutional investor in the companies we back. Our investment team has over a century of combined experience in venture capital. We know that great companies are not built in a day; a long term focus on core strengths is the key to building a successful enterprise. We take an active lead role in the companies we back and serve on the boards of directors of over 95% of our portfolio companies. However, we contribute well beyond board participation and continually seek and deliver competitive advantage to the teams that we back. At Highland we work hard to build value in each of our companies. That value is reflected in our track record, our organizational structure, our team-oriented approach and in the way that we operate every day.
