    Description:

    Since its founding in 1976, Bay Partners, an early stage venture capital firm with over $1 billion of capital under active management, has invested in, and nurtured, over 250 technology start-ups. Bay is currently investing its eleventh venture fund, its $285 million Fund 11, and is also making follow-on investments from its $385 million Fund 10. Bay has become a leading SaaS venture capital firm with notable current investments such as Eloqua, Xactly, Cornerstone on Demand, and eProject. Bay invests in early stage companies either through the seed track ($250K-$750K) in bold, out-of-the-box capital-efficient ideas, or through the more typical early stage track ($1M-$7M) in early product development stages of companies. Bay Partners focuses its energies on providers of both wireline and wireless communications equipment, and the software and services that run in these distributed networks. Bay Partners was one of the first VC firms established in Silicon Valley and has been driving liquidity for almost 40 years.
