Extending Runways for Venture-backed Companies
Late round financings can be challenging because of investor fatigue, inadequate reserves, and end-of-fund-life limitations
VIVE can be a backstop for undersubscribed financings and bridge rounds. We add timely value-add capital and help management teams extend runways and prepare for M&A.
VIVE invests in venture companies preparing for sale
VIVE participation de-risks a transaction and encourages insider participation. We provide support to help avoid an impaired sale process and punitive loans from buyers, strengthening balance sheets ahead of sale negotiations. Our large network of industry and domain experts help review and provide guidance for portfolio companies.
Ready to add a late-inning investment partner?
VIVE was founded by senior Silicon Valley-based venture capital professionals with hundreds of completed VC financings and M&A exits between them. The VIVE team can help companies over the finish line with a collaborative approach, pivotal capital and value-add expertise.
“VIVE is unique in the industry based on our willingness to join late stage syndicates for companies that will be sold instead of IPO.”
— Jack Helfand, Managing Partner
