MULESOFT; FROM FIRST CHECK TO IPO The holidays are a good time for reflection on the past year. This season, I found myself drawn to the topic of our recent MuleSoft (www.mulesoft.com, NYSE: MULE) IPO, and perhaps in a fit of nostalgia, dug out their original investment memo.This digging took a little longer than expected as I had forgotten that their prefunding name wasnot MuleSoft.

WE ARE FOCUSED ON YOUR SUCCESS Our team consists of technology forward thinkers and engineers. Investing in software is all we do. We've been in the trenches ourselves. Our team members have served in roles that have included raising capital, struggling to meet payroll, managing through down cycles, and hiring in hyper-growth. For us, helping others succeed is a personal commitment.Meet our Team
DISRUPTIONS
WE HELP COMPANIES SHAKE UP THE LANDSCAPE THINGS THAT GET US TO SIT UP STRAIGHT AND PAY ATTENTION ARE: WHEN AN ENGINEER SAYS, “I can prove that my technology is a significant leap forward…” in speed, scalability, or function. WHEN A FOUNDING TEAM SAYS, “We’re going to disrupt the core business of a large company.”WHEN OTHERS SAY,
“What you describe doesn't sound technically possible, or can’tpossibly work.”
WHO WE BACK
WE SUPPORT THOUGHTFUL, DETERMINED VISIONARIES We get behind Founding Teams with a history of success in their backgrounds. That success may be from other aspects in their lives. We like founders that have tackled hard problems and succeeded before. Our CEO’s consistently attract talented people who want to work with them. These teams are so immersed in technology that they create game-changing, disruptive breakthroughs. Further, they have the drive to go against conventional thought and perceptions and turn their vision into tangible, profitable businesses.Learn More
