Impressive track record of increased company valuations
Many entrepreneurial companies have partnered
with Edison Venture Fund, and subsequently have experienced dramatic
multiplication of their valuation. Edison specializes in information
technology - we have invested in over 170 companies. Achieving
16 IPOs and over 75 company sales, we have helped many companies to
exit with substantial proceeds that made their founders wealthy and
achieved significant rewards for key employees.
Venture
Capital Leadership
Edison is committed to the region and has made more investments in the Boston to Washington
DC corridor than any other private equity firm. Our investment
professionals actively participate and take leadership roles
in the technology, entrepreneurial and private equity communities
both regionally and nationally.
