Institutional Venture Partners Closes $600 Million Fund
Largest IVP fund to date raised quickly and significantly oversubscribed
Menlo Park, Calif. May 17, 2007 Institutional Venture Partners (IVP), one of the nation's top performing venture capital firms, announced today the closing of IVP XII, a $600 million later-stage venture capital fund. This fund brings the firm's cumulative committed capital to more than $2.2 billion. IVP XII is the largest fund raised in IVP's twenty-six year history. The fund will continue IVP's successful investment strategy of investing in rapidly growing later-stage technology companies in the United States.
Our later-stage investment strategy has worked well in both IVP X and IVP XI, said Todd Chaffee, a general partner of IVP. Market leading technology companies need more growth capital to stay competitive these days, and our deal flow has never been stronger.
With IVP XII, the firm will invest in three target sectors: Communications and Wireless, Internet and Digital Media, and Enterprise IT companies. Typical investments will range in size from $10 million to $30 million. In addition, the firm intends to continue its strategy of acting as the lead investor in large venture capital financings above $100 million.
In 2006, IVP led two of the year's largest private venture rounds in the industry with Cortina Systems, Inc. and HomeAway, Inc. We plan to continue that strategy with IVP XII. This is one of the variables that drove the larger fund size for IVP XII, said Norm Fogelsong, a general partner of IVP. IVP XI was a $300 million fund and IVP X was a $225 million fund.
IVP currently has six general partners including Todd Chaffee, Reid Dennis, Norm Fogelsong, Steve Harrick, Sandy Miller, and Dennis Phelps. The team has more than 100 years of combined venture capital and operating experience, and the partners have made venture capital investments in many well known technology companies such as Ariba, Clarify, Compaq, LSI Logic, Polycom, Seagate, VeriSign, and Yahoo.
Limited Partner demand for IVP XII was exceptionally strong, and the fund was quickly oversubscribed with IVP's existing Limited Partners taking most of the fund. Limited Partners in IVP XII include foundations, university endowments, financial institutions, public pension funds, private equity fund-of-funds and high net worth individuals.
