Birchmere Ventures

Across five funds and two decades, we've helped build numerous successful companies such as Cvent (event management - IPO) , TenMarks (math tutoring - acquired by Amazon) CyOptics (optical chips - acquired by Avago), Neolinear (EDA - acquired by Cadence), and FreeMarkets (B2B marketplace - IPO). We believe great companies can start anywhere (but to scale quickly they may require a coastal presence), and the best engineers and scientists do not go to just a few schools on each coast.
