Earlier today I was lucky enough to visit what is literally the mecca of Silicon Valley and give a presentation. The top silicon valley venture capital firm is Sequoia Capital and they happen to be one of Mark Logic's investors. Now you may not have heard of Sequoia but you have heard of the companies they have successfully backed. These companies include Apple, Yahoo, Google, Youtube and many more! And they are not just into s/w they also backed Nvidia and many other hardware vendors as well. Amazing! Amazing run they have had.
So I went with our VP of sales to their offices on the famous Sand Hill Rd. to present Mark Logic to a German Publisher who was in town to learn about opportunities that might be around for them in the SC portfolio. The presentation itself went well and we will get some follow on meetings. The fun thing was seeing the actual offices where so many silicon valley legends have started! They may even have sat in the same seat as me! No wait, I never sat down.
Well hopefully that won't be my last visit to the Sequoia offices. It was certainly a lot of fun.
For a bit more fun look at some of their current portfolio, plenty of names you might recognize there!
