  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.
"We were a tiny startup and our first major customer's CFO asked to see our annual report. We thought the deal was dead, until Highland spoke with him and talked about the strength of their commitment to Sybase's success. After clearing that pivotal hurdle, we never looked back."
Mark Hoffman Former CEO Sybase |
