Early-stage investments in information and medical technology.
ONSET transforms great ideas into successful technology businesses. We partner with entrepreneurs at the earliest stages, getting in the trenches to help identify markets, build business models and find the ideal management team. ONSET also provides established technology start-ups with the resources and perspectives to make the next leap forward. Our approach is proven with over $1 billion under management, eight funds and over 100 start-ups backed since 1984. It's our personalized approach that makes us different—we call it "venture craftsmanship"—and it's why so many entrepreneurs choose to work with ONSET again and again.
“No matter how experienced you are, it always helps to have people you trust with whom you can talk through issues and opportunities.”
