“DLA Piper 'gets it.' They understand the unique process of working with startups and the Venture Pipeline is a tremendous resource. The VP team provided us with invaluable guidance throughout the fundraising process, and the venture funds they got us in front of were dead on target. Their introductions led to the completion of our Series B round with a top tier fund, which has been an incredible partner in helping to further grow our company."
- Jeff Smith, Founder, Revionics
“DLA Piper and the Venture Pipeline team were an integral part of our fundraising team. The Venture Pipeline team was able to open doors to investors and we ultimately completed the Series A round of funding we needed to launch our company. I would without hesitation recommend the Venture Pipeline for companies looking for connections into the investment community and I personally look forward to working with them again in the future."
- Geoffrey Nudd, Founder, Foundog
“Kazork hired DLA Piper as corporate counsel in May of 2009. Within a few days of engaging with Venture Pipeline they had lined up meetings with a number of VCs who specialized in our market. Venture Pipeline also provided valuable insight into the fund raising process and assistance in the creation of our presentation to investors. Whenever I had a question, Venture Pipeline was always there with an answer, usually within the hour. I would highly recommend Venture Pipeline and DLA to anyone looking to raise capital for their company.”
- Mark Saavedra, Founder and CEO, Kazork.com
"Raising money is all about timing and relationships. Few relationships have paid as many dividends as the one we struck with DLA Piper and their Venture Pipeline Group. They took the time to get to know our business, help us refine our story, and based on that helped identify investors that were a good match. They introduced us directly to the right investment partner with the right industry expertise which ultimately led to our first institutional round – a huge asset. You don't get that kind of value from other law firms. They get my highest recommendation."
-Jon Jackson, CEO and Founder, MobilePosse
“It was a pleasure to work with the DLA Piper Venture Pipeline team. They provided valuable connections, guidance, and insights on the fundraising process. The Venture Pipeline team was able to open doors to the right investors and directly introduced us to our current venture investors. We definitely recommend their services and would not hesitate to use them again in the future."
- Dave Nelson, CFO, CBG Holdings
"Venture Pipeline is the bomb. I would have been completely lost without them. If you are with someone else.... good luck."
- Chris McGill, CEO, Mixx
"Coming out of a large organization, we had never built a company or raised venture capital. We were introduced to the Venture Pipeline by a well-respected serial entrepreneur. The team is phenomenal. They gave us great advice, helped with our pitch, and made five targeted VC introductions. We now have a top tier syndicate, and we're off building a clean-tech company that will help change the world."
- Myles Baker, CEO, Modular Wind
"The Venture Pipeline team was incredibly helpful to Eventful as we set out to syndicate our B round. Together with the Venture Pipeline group and our Series A investor (a top tier VC with over $4 billion under management) we built a targeted VC list. The Venture Pipeline group’s introductions led directly to the firm with whom we chose to conclude our B round."
- Jordan Glazer, CEO, Eventful
"There are a lot of firms that say they can help you raise money. But there is nothing like the Venture Pipeline group. It's a no brainer. It's all they do. They counsel hundreds of companies every year. They have their own venture network, plus the network of an additional 1500 DLA Piper lawyers. Their advice was dead-on solid, and their introductions were right on target. They helped us raise over $8M in capital for our software company. I recommend them unequivocally."
- Cliff Boro, CEO
