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.
