OpenView Portfolio Companies Help Each Other
Our portfolio companies share expertise in developing software, Internet, and technology-enabled solutions. Collectively they have considerable experience with all aspects of product development, customer development, and company development. Each of our portfolio companies are in the expansion stage so many experiences and issues are very similar.
We encourage this collaboration through our forums, internal collaboration groups, one-off introductions and “field trips” that help our portfolio companies tackle their unique issues.
