    Description:

    Founded in 1982, Fluke Venture Partners has a long tradition of assisting Pacific Northwest entrepreneurs in building successful and enduring companies. The firm's mission is to fund a deliberately diverse portfolio of the most promising high-growth technology, healthcare, and consumer-oriented opportunities in the Pacific Northwest. Fluke limits its portfolio size so that its partners can work to actively support the management team of each of its investments. Fluke Partners prefers to invest in later-stage profitable businesses but enjoys building long-term relationships with successful entrepreneurs at any point, and is interested in meeting them even if initial financing is not in the immediate future. Initial investment size can be as low as $500,000, but the firm typically invests from $2.5 to $4 million per company, inclusive of follow-on rounds of financing. Fluke Venture Partners' current fund, with approximately $65 million, was closed in 2004. The team brings over 30 years of experience.
