Persefon Ventures

At Persefon they concentrate on seed stage mentoring and capital investment for startups in Consumer, Collaboration, Computing Infrastructure on Web and Mobile platforms. They get excited about teaming up with entrepreneurs with a demonstrable idea, a bead on an established market and need, and a realistic notion of where they can make money from it.[ They’re clear on the factors we believe lead to success and their order of importance: Talent, Market, Technology, They’d rather get involved in a company with great potential for profitability and sustainability and a good chance of becoming really really successful than in one with a slim chance of getting to an IPO. They’re not looking to slam it out of the park or go home, but to reliably create great companies.
