The partners at OpenView bring a high level of operational expertise to a portfolio company's board through a combination of previous line experience as well as many years of experience in investing and growing expansion stage companies. The primary focus of our board participation tends to be on operations. This is driven by our belief that an important key to success for expansion stage companies is a heavy investment in a process-driven sales & marketing infrastructure. Good advice is only as good as the implementation that goes with it, and OpenView provides both through board participation coupled with significant implementation help provided by its functional experts.
