Sevin Rosen Funds cover

TrustList summary

Sevin Rosen Funds is a venture capital firm founded in 1981 by L.J. Sevin and Ben Rosen, built around an entrepreneur-centric approach to backing technology companies. In its early years the firm helped establish Compaq Computer Corporation, whose Compaq Portable PC shipped in 1983, and it went on to fund other early technology companies including Lotus Development Corporation, Electronic Arts and SGI. Its portfolio has included IPOs such as Citrix, CIENA, ArQule, Cyrix and Cypress Semiconductor. The firm's active funds are now fully invested, meaning any further investment activity is limited to companies already within its existing portfolio rather than new commitments.
