Growth Equity for Software Companies

Partnering with TVC Capital was game-changing for Limeade. They provide real operating insights in ways most venture investors can’t. Every day, they put their reputation, connections and experience to work for us — whether we ask or not. They are investors, but also friends and mentors.

I feel that I have a true business partner in TVC Capital. They are not just “investors”; they are experienced managers who understand the challenges and opportunities that we face each day and they are able to offer guidance and advice that is invaluable to helping us to grow our business. Whether financially, strategically, or tactically, their counsel always improves the decisions that we make in running our business. In addition, our partnership with TVC has elevated the overall capabilities and access to resources for Centage which has put us on a much enhanced pathway to success.

TVC Capital has been an amazing partner to LiquidPlanner over the last two years. The entire team is top-notch: they take the time to deeply understand our business, and they have the experience to back up their advice. Whether it’s on day-to-day operations or long-term strategy, TVC’s contribution has been consistently strong and valuable.

TVC Capital is not just an investor, they are a trusted partner. TVC consistently provides useful guidance and is always available to provide direct feedback on an approach. They deliver a sense of “patient urgency” in our interactions bringing a healthy blend of experience from real challenges and encouraging push for accomplishments. ReverseVision is my second firm with TVC as an investor. Given all the options available, this second round indicates how highly valued the relationship has become. I would not hesitate to participate with them again in the future.

TVC Capital is a valued, engaged business partner and advisor to Mercent. The TVC Capital team consistently exhibits impeccable integrity and business ethics, they are tenured professionals with exceptional management and operating experience, and they have a passion for advancing the best interests of their portfolio partners. The strategic value of our partnership has exceeded all of my expectations.

Working with TVC, we had the unique opportunity to grow DMD, sell it to Fiserv in 2005, buy it back at a very deep value in 2008, reengage the customer base, and exit again, this time to Ellie Mae in 2011. I could not have asked for a better financial partner. The TVC team was there when we needed guidance, were supportive of our key decisions, and were integral in exit negotiations. I would work with them again in a heartbeat.

TVC Capital, representing our first and only institutional capital, provided immense support and insight as we executed on our business plan, developed our exit strategy, and ultimately were acquired by Polycom, Inc., in March 2011. Their commitment, not only to focused execution, but also to the efficient use of capital helped differentiate Accordent, helped preserve value, and ultimately yielded a positive outcome that has received accolades and widespread attention.
