Building a successful company takes more than just an investment of capital. It requires a mix of savvy business advice, access to key technology resources, and an entre to industry partners. And that's what Diamondhead Ventures is all about.

Diamondhead Ventures is focused on investing in information technology companies with substantial intellectual property that is unique and disruptive, e.g., technology that is being developed with potential to perform ten times better than what is currently available in the marketplace. We typically invest in seed, first or second round institutional financings. As in the past, we believe that several of our investments opportunities will come from technology being spun out of leading research universities.

We're looking for special entrepreneurs who have big ideas who need seed capital to turn their ideas into action. They see the world for what it could be, not what it already is.

We are not interested in companies that are creating the nth solution to the same old problems nor companies who are trying to improve things by only 10, 15, or 20 percent.

Greylock's strategy is to partner with management in building companies that have the potential to become industry leaders. We prefer to build around an outstanding entrepreneurial leader or team with a powerful technology and market vision. We tend to focus on capital-efficient businesses where high barriers to entry can be constructed, and we work closely with the start-up team to build the organization.
