At Bay Partners, we focus on the finish line. We've helped over 250 companies go from start-up to successful liquidity, resulting in over $1 billion in exit returns. Funding a company is one thing. Bringing it to the perfect exit takes experience. We have been helping companies achieve gainful M&A and IPO transactions since 1976. Our founders were... pioneers in Silicon Valley, funding legendary companies like Informatica, Geoworks, Shiva and Brocade. Bay's latest two funds, Bay X and Bay XI, have produced some of the most successful returns in the industry, with 3 IPOs and 2 large M&A transactions in 2012 alone. In fact, 2012 was a good year for Bay Partners. Neal Dempsey was included in the Forbes Midas List because of the firm's successful transactions, including Guidewire, Eloqua and Enphase. In fact, the Wall Street Journal listed the Guidewire IPO as one of the most successful IPOs of the year. Choosing an investment isn't the hard part for a Venture Capital firm.
