From Our CEOs
"Your VC should not just be your money, but a key member of your team – providing insight and experience to help your business succeed. Jed and the Javelin team have been in my shoes – they have had real, hands-on (successful) startup experience and hence have an immense amount of practical guidance to share. Even though I was a first-time CEO, they never once said, "You should do this". Instead, they said, "Well, when I faced a similar situation we tried 2 different things. Path A had these results and Path B had those results. Now this is a little different, so let's think about what makes sense here. " Javelin was a critical part of our success, and I looked forward to the board meetings and our informal frozen yogurt strategy sessions!"Jenny Zeszut
Scout Labs CEO
"Javelin has continuously exceeded my high expectations. As a first time entrepreneur, I have found that the perspective and experience the partners at Javelin bring from building successful companies themselves is invaluable. They truly partner in every aspect of growing our company, providing constant guidance, recruiting help, access to a large network of contacts, and many others ways of rolling up their sleeves to create value."Bryan Arp
Netpulse CEO
"Noah and Jed know first hand the pain NexentaStor is addressing and since investing their counsel has been invaluable. They are available when needed and great at distinguishing the forest from the trees."Evan Powell
Nexenta CEO
"The challenges of big changes – transforming industries with new technologies – means the road is never smooth or easy. It is critical to have investors who believe in you and your business, and who are there to provide insight, support, and guidance to help you take your business to the next level. Javelin has always been there with a shared vision, belief in the business, and the advice and counsel that is so necessary for success. Noah and Jed are accessible, supportive, and available for their portfolio companies to help them grow and thrive."Cathleen A. Asch
Nuvon President and CEO
"What's most impressed me about Javelin is not only their ability to provide great strategic insight, but also their willingness to roll up their sleeves and help with the day to day execution of the business (recruiting, structuring business deals, customer introductions, etc.). Javelin has always acted with urgency to help us get things done, including closing a financing on New Years Eve!"Nisan Gabbay
Sociable CEO
"Having spent the past 12 years of my career working in startup environments a close relationship with your investors is important to address business, market and financial considerations; Javelin has been exemplary to work with in all respects. Queplix is excited about our continued relationship and looks forward to the advice and guidance of our partner."Mark Cashman
Queplix CEO
"My working relationship with Javelin has not only been very positive but also quite helpful in growing my business. As entrepreneurs at heart, Jed and Noah understand the challenges I am facing in growing my business. As investors, they have provided insights on all fronts from marketing to product development and have also made key introductions to potential clients."Eric Gertler
