The Maven partners, Jack Gill, George Richard, and Jennifer Gill Roberts, have eighty years of collective success as venture and corporate early-stage investors, entrepreneurs and executives at leading firms including Sevin Rosen Funds, Vanguard, Airtouch, Sun Microsystems, and Infospace. The Partner’s investment history spans 25 years, 100 plus global investments throughout the technology stack and top quartile returns across multiple investment cycles. Each Partner has been a successful, investor, entrepreneur and corporate executive. The Partners share a passion for technology and bring strong academic and technical credentials and relationships to the firm from Stanford University, UCLA, University of Texas at Austin, MIT, Harvard, UC Berkeley, Rice and Indiana University.

We believe that a few core elements define Maven and position us as the Mobility venture franchise. Focus: all we do is launch Mobility companies. Great deal flow: Because of the team’s history of success and singular insight, Mobility mavens seek us out and we work hard to find those companies addressing fundamental business issues with alpha return potential. Superior Judgment: Every team member is involved in deal sourcing, evaluation, investment decision and company building. Maven focuses more pounds per square inch in Mobility investing than any other venture fund. We don’t have individual sector responsibility; we don’t have weekly partner meetings to let each other know what the other is up to. Each of Maven’s portfolio companies benefits from the complete Maven team.

Maven is a partnership founded on shared values and a common vision. Our singular investment thesis is Mobility. We operate as a team and leverage our collective experience and relationships for the benefit of our portfolio companies and our investors. Mobility is the Fifth Wave – catch it!
