The Halo Funds Advantage Print E-mail
Entrepreneur-Centric
The key to building successful new companies is entrepreneurs. The Halo Funds work with portfolio entrepreneurs as value-added board members by mentoring, coaching, and helping to recruit people to fill out the executive team.  The Halo Funds intend to continue to be a firm of choice for early-stage entrepreneurs seeking funding; and to be known to entrepreneurs as being helpful, open, honest, respectful, responsive and decisive.
 
Experience Across Industry Cycles
The Halo Funds’ team collectively has 85 years of angel investing and/or venture capital investment experience. Our partners have lived through many industry cycles across many different sectors of technology and across many functional roles. Each of our partners also has significant investing experience in his or her primary area of expertise. They also have operational experience working with or in small start-ups as well as large companies.

 Operating Experience and Expertise
The seven members of the team include three former public company CEOs and a renowned venture capitalist.  Some are former corporate executives and experienced sales & marketing experts.  Each of the partners has both business and personal experience as users of technology—an important element of their ability to identify, evaluate and invest in promising technologies at the beginning.

 

 

Quality Co-investors

The Halo Funds have and will continue to co‑invest with venture capital firms, private equity firms, corporate venture funds, and other angel investors.  These other investors are appreciative of Halo III’s early involvement and guidance in portfolio companies.  A partial list of some of Silicon Valley’s top venture capital funds that have subsequently invested in past Halo Fund portfolio companies include Kleiner Perkins, USVP, Mayfield, Mohr Davidow, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Onset Ventures and Sequoia.

 

Exclusive Angels’ Forum Partnership (www.angelsforum.com)
Deal Flow/Due Diligence:
While some of the Halo Fund companies will not have come from The Angels’ Forum(TAF), the Halo Funds have an exclusive partnership with TAF with priority access to their deal flow.  TAF is a disciplined private equity entity that invests personal wealth directly into Silicon Valley-based start-ups. In addition to Halo Fund rigorous due diligence processes, the Funds leverage TAF's screening process, diligence and 500 years of industry experience to ensure that every deal we see is of the highest quality.

 

Active Angel Participation/Mentoring
Many of the portfolio companies have chosen Halo Funds and TAF over other funding methods because of its active mentoring role. The members of the Halo Funds and TAF regularly review and  reevaluate the operating plans and progress of our portfolio companies to determine how specific  members of the group can assist portfolio companies in meeting challenges and achieving operating milestones.  The Fund members will serve as a corporate Board director or observer, while other  members of the Halo Funds or TAF may work intensely with the company.
