  At Highland Capital Partners, we have always been focused on one goal: to help great people build great companies. Since our inception in 1988, we have invested in over 200 seed, early and growth stage companies – 90 of which have gone public or been acquired to date. We emphasize a team-oriented approach in providing the right mix of strategic guidance, hands-on leadership and deep industry domain expertise in helping entrepreneurs and their teams to become market-leading organizations.
"Highland was absolutely central to the successful sale of our first company. They advised me on the difficult decision of when to sell, helped me find and negotiate the best deal, and were critical in driving the transaction to a close. That's just one of the reasons we went to Highland to fund our next company, Mainspring Communications."
John Connolly Former CEO Mainspring Communications |
