The declining cost of IT infrastructure combined with pervasive connectivity has created opportunities for new companies with innovative business models to penetrate large markets and reorder the competitive landscape.
Emergence Capital has been at the forefront of this trend with early investments in SaaS, digital media and mobile services companies and brings deep experience and network resources to its portfolio companies. This focused team oriented approach has led to investments in industry leaders such as Salesforce.com and SuccessFactors. Emergence manages $325 million across two funds and is actively seeking new investment opportunities.
