About
Norwest Venture Partners is a venture capital and growth equity fund headquartered in Silicon Valley and with subsidiaries in India and Israel. Northwest Venture Partners invests from the seed to late stage and invests across a wide variety of sectors.
In Venture, we invest in early-stage venture projects with world-class technologies and entrepreneurs, and later-stage companies with existing customers, strong sales and top tier management and co-investors. For early stage companies with strong growth potential, our general goal is to invest between $10 million and $15 million in each company over time. We sometimes begin with a smaller amount (as little as $1 million to $5 million), and we have the ability to invest as much as $25 million to $30 million.
In Growth Equity, we invest in profitable, market-leading companies that demonstrate exceptional growth potential. We take a long-term and flexible approach to partnering with founders and executives in both minority and control investments. Our proven and repeatable research process for finding and evaluating investments allows us to uncover value creation opportunities that others might not see. Our investment size ranges from $20 million to $150 million and we focus on Technology, Information Services, Business Services, Financial Services, Consumer Products/Services and Healthcare.
