InterWest Partners is a leading diversified venture capital firm currently investing InterWest IX, a $600 million fund. Investing since 1979, we build long-term relationships with entrepreneurs and portfolio companies. Our experienced partners, who bring together deep domain knowledge in information technology and life sciences, have established a proven track record of identifying, validating and backing emerging trends and technologies. With more than $2B capital under management, we take a long-term, collaborative approach to venture funding, providing early stage and ongoing capital, management coaching and access to a broad network of resources. InterWest invests an average of about $7 - 15 million over the span of our involvement with each company in our portfolio. We invest in companies through the full range of venture investment stages, and investments may be staged over several rounds of financing. Although we generally begin our involvement in the early stages of a company's development, we pursue attractive opportunities based on their individual merits rather than their investment stage.
