"I've had seven different venture capitalists involved in my companies over the last decade. I knew exactly what I was looking for this time around and found it in Mosaic. We wanted investors with integrity, energy, and commitment - investors who could balance the needs of all parties and focus on a common goal - growing shareholder value through execution of a well thought out business strategy. I also like their focus on Customers - the essence of GotMarketing's company culture." - Lynda Partner - GotMarketing

"Integrity. Competence. Integrity. Competence. My previous company, DocSpace, was built from scratch and sold months later for US$568 Million without accepting any venture capital offers. The VC's we met at the time--which, unfortunately, did NOT include Mosaic--were unable to deal with us in a way that matched our corporate culture: extremely fast, decisive, open and HARD-working. The whole team at Mosaic fits this mold. No wonder their peers recently ranked them the most respected VC in the country. Time Industrial reaped benefits from Mosaic and the Mosaic network before the ink was even dry on our terms sheet. I wish I had been introduced to Vernon and Dave two lifetimes ago." - Evan Chrapko - Time Industrial, Inc.

"Having seen a broad range of investors, we consider ourselves very fortunate to include Mosaic as part of our team. Bringing far more than capital, the group at Mosaic gets emotionally committed to helping entrepreneurs and their investments succeed. They have been invaluable with strategic advice and a network of exceptional contacts. Most recently, they were a major force behind successfully closing our third round of private financing (which occurred during the 'market correction'). They understand the need to AND operate at Internet speed. Straight shooters, smart guys, we couldn¹t ask for better partners." - Bill DiNardo - Grocery Gateway

"Mosaic has been instrumental in launching Borderfree right from the idea generation stage. They have provided us with great strategic advice and industry contacts. In particular, Mosaic brought to the table a key strategic partner that is providing critical technology development. Mosaic also is playing a key role in crafting our marketing strategy where we were able to tap their direct personal experience in creating brands as well as using their network to draw upon key strategic marketing resources. We would not have been able to move so quickly from idea generation to the launch of our service without the support and resources that Mosaic was able to deliver." - Pierre Schuurmans - Borderfree

"It is difficult to actually quantify all of the things that Mosaic has contributed to the success and growth of our company. We consider them an invaluable addition to our management partnership. From recruiting top talent, to promoting us within the investment community, to ensuring that we don't lose sight of the bigger picture, Dave and Vernon are proactive on our behalf. As entrepreneurs with very limited time, help like this is critical to extending our ability to grow the organization. To anyone considering Mosaic as a partner, I can say from long experience that there is none better. With Mosaic you get much more than a financial partner, you get the enthusiasm, intelligence, caring, and energy of individuals that will work tirelessly to make you a success." - Dean Hopkins - Cyberplex

"Mosaic has been a terrific partner. Within one week of funding our second round, they fired up their great contact network and played a key role in landing a major deal for us. A few days later, they again reached out to their network and suddenly a major potential supplier was offering us much better pricing that we had previously received. Whenever I need a response from Mosaic, I've been able to get it within a day if not within hours." - Mike Cassidy - Direct Hit

"Silanis was in the fortunate position of having multiple offers when we started looking for strategic investment partners-we had the luxury of picking the best. What impressed us about Mosaic is the speed with which things get done and the truly integrated way they work with us. We feel that they have become part of the company; they commit to getting things that we need done and deliver. Mosaic has been instrumental in helping us see business growth opportunities from different points of view and developing the strategies needed to capitalize on those opportunities while still keeping the core values that Silanis adheres to intact." - Tommy Petrogiannis - Silanis

"We knew from the outset that Vernon and Dave were people with whom we wanted ZEFER to be associated. Their focus on people and values is consistent with our own philosophy: a company¹s success is more a result of culture than business plan numbers. ZEFER¹s early success is testimony to the fact that true value begins with people‹and in this case, people of exceptional talent. I have always respected the rare combination of integrity, raw intelligence, and modesty that Vernon and Dave both possess. Indeed, we feel privileged to be one of Mosaic¹s portfolio companies." - Tony Tjan - Zefer

"SoundBite is the second company where I have had the opportunity to work with the Mosaic team. With a perspective of having been involved with start-ups since 1983 that include 5 different companies, I am thrilled to be working with Mosaic again because they bring a level of commitment and experience to our organization that is second to none. They are active participants in developing our business and have helped us build our team and forge partnerships with industry leaders while providing practical guidance in managing our operation. They are quick to respond, proactive in their involvement and straightforward in their communications. We wanted to work with Mosaic again because they are aligned with our mission of building a world class company that can establish itself as a market leader for the long haul thereby maximizing shareholder value." - John McDonough - Soundbite

"Many things come to mind when one thinks about Mosaic Venture Partners. Strategic advice rooted in past experiences in building real businesses, demonstrated commitment at a personal level, and willingness to tap into their network to get the job done are just to mention a few. A strong partner indeed." - Gopal Krishna - thinkIndia
