| How the Fund Describes Itself: When we created Benchmark, we created a new kind of venture firm - one that's based on teamwork, superior service to entrepreneurs and an intense dedication to building technology companies of lasting value. Teamwork and Experience: A Combination That Works Unlike other venture firms whose partners work independently and even compete for resources, we function as a team in which every partner is equal in terms of contribution and compensation. And, every partner is invested - both financially and personally-in each other's success. This unique team approach gives our portfolio companies the benefit of having all of our experienced, well-connected partners working for them, not just one. Whether it's to help recruit an executive, facilitate a corporate partnership, or get advice on a strategic move, each company has access to the combined resources of the entire firm. Our emphasis on teamwork and providing quality service are big reasons why the industry's top entrepreneurs like Marc Andreesen, Mike Homer, Paul Levy, Atiq Raza and Meg Whitman turn to Benchmark for help. It's also why we've been able to back more franchise technology companies in the last few years than any other firm in the business. |
