TCV Revenue and Competitors

Founded in 1995 by Jay Hoag and Rick Kimball, TCV is a leading provider of growth capital to technology companies throughout their rapid growth phase. We employ a crossover investment model, which combines venture capital with public market investing and enables TCV to continue to invest in its portfolio companies at the IPO and beyond. This combination of private and public investing also affords our investment professionals the opportunity to meet with hundreds of public and private technology companies annually, creating a unique and highly valuable flow of information for TCV as an investor and for its portfolio companies. Leading technology entrepreneurs have always made up a significant and important part of our investor base. Over time, we have added to our investor base many leading institutional investors, including large pension funds, insurance companies, and major corporations. Our relationships with the over 150 technology entrepreneurs in our investor base have provided us with greater access to leading technology companies such as Agile Software, Altera, Broadcom, Brocade, Compuware, Diamond Multimedia, eBay, Intuit, Intel, Netscape, PeopleSoft, Polycom, SAP, Siebel and Yahoo!. These individuals also serve as a unique resource for us and our portfolio companies in areas such as recruiting, board participation and due diligence. Our team of ten partners, one executive in residence and over 17 other professionals manages over $3.3 billion in assets. Our partners include both experienced investors and operating executives, many of who have more than twenty years of industry experience. We have invested in over 140 companies and worked with the management teams of those companies to achieve over 35 IPOs and 22 strategic sales or mergers. These leading companies include: Actuate, Alteon Websystems, C|Net, Expedia, Netflix, RealNetworks, Solect Technology and Xylan.
