Sigma Partners

United States of America

Sigma Partners was founded in 1984 on the principle that people are the essential element of success. That is why Sigma focuses on identifying exceptional entrepreneurs with creative ideas and supporting them in building great companies. Unlike some firms that hire venture capitalists based upon their business school degrees and finance backgrounds we think it s much more important to have partners with experience in the trenches starting and running entrepreneurial companies. This first hand experience allows us to give early stage companies both tactical and strategic guidance and access to a powerful business network. They work on behalf of our portfolio companies. They know business doesn t always go as planned but because they have invested in the best and brightest entrepreneurs together we adapt and create success.
