About Walden Venture Capital

Walden Venture Capital targets Sprout Stage™ investments. We seek products or services with mass-market potential and powerful underlying technologies. We invest in our target sectors: digital media and cloud services for consumers and enterprise.

Sprout Stage™ companies have a demonstrable product, service or technology. We seek feedback from early adopters, examine user behavior and form our own opinion to assess mass-market potential. We are not sprinkling seeds to see what might grow, but instead focus our energy on a portfolio of "Sprouts," taking active supporting roles typically as first institutional investors. We care deeply about Founders and Management and work diligently to help manifest their vision. Our portfolio includes leaders in music, mobile, internet media and breakthrough cloud services.
