Shaping Markets
We back entrepreneurs who thoroughly chart their market course - those who believe that becoming a significant information technology is the entrepreneurial task.

We see the entrepreneurial journey beginning with a clear articulation of business purpose – followed by the formation of a core team. We look for this shared commitment because it fuels the entrepreneurial spirit and provides the necessary stamina to launch and grow a new enterprise.

Building a company also takes day-to-day leadership - motivating employees, partners, customers, and suppliers to continuously take action and move business processes forward.

But finally, the most important ingredient to entrepreneurial success is authentic entrepreneurial passion and the drive to see vision realized.

Risk-taking Spirit
August Capital invests financial, people, and time resources into these risk-taking entrepreneurs because at heart we are risk-takers, too.

Like entrepreneurs we see the possibilities of emerging technologies. Like entrepreneurs we are willing to bet on really good ideas.

Diversity & Integrity
From every angle, we know that it is the people that make things work.

To help the entrepreneurial team, we bring to the table a partner group of diverse talents, personalities, and perspectives. We're willing to speak out and speak up. We can take the contrary view when needed to jolt new thinking. We're there when entrepreneurs and executives want to talk.

For us, being good venture capitalists is about seeing things others don't. We have the integrity to stand behind our beliefs and our portfolio companies. We give companies time to develop a strong base. We hope to become your most trusted advisor.

Fundamentally, our only agenda is the entrepreneurial agenda - to pioneer new markets, redefine a market's competitive economics, and make a lasting difference.
