OUR MISSION

Founded in 1999, Windspeed Ventures has been working with and investing in companies that are market leaders and managing portfolios for corporate entities.

 

Windspeed Ventures portfolio consists of mainly early-stage equity investments made through our three main and multiple side funds.  The companies represent investments in the telecommunications infrastructure, software, media, and internet cloud services industries.

In early 2004 Windspeed assumed management responsibility for the Comdisco Ventures Portfolio. This portfolio was one of the largest portfolios in the United States and consisted of equity and warrant positions in over 250 companies. The companies represented all phases of growth. The major industries represented Software and Services, Communications, Healthcare and Life Sciences.

The Comdisco Ventures portfolio is the last remaining substantial asset of Comdisco from which value must be derived. Windspeed Ventures has dramatically increased the value of this important asset in a very short time. I would recommend Windspeed as a portfolio manager to anyone looking for solid returns and strong administration with complete transparency.
— Randy Thornton, President & CEO, Comdisco, Inc.

Windspeed is currently looking for additional portfolio management opportunities as well as targeted investments in early-stage software companies.  The combination of a strong management team, technical differentiation in a growth market opportunity and flexibility are key metrics for investment.
