We’re proud to be partners to the incredible entrepreneurs of @zoom_us as they build an iconic company. Their IPO today is a major accomplishment, and yet we know it just marks the beginning of a new chapter. Join us in congratulating an incredible team for all their hard work!
When I met @ericsyuan, @zoom_us was 30 people running demos with a camera on a mini-fridge. Everyone told Eric that video conferencing had been won. But no product lived up to his vision: video conferencing so easy that people would find joy (yes, really) in meetings.
Today we are proud to announce the close of @emergencap’s fifth fund, Fund V, dedicated to early stage investments in people that change the way the world works.
“@ericsyuan had to beat the odds just to get to Silicon Valley, as his visa application was denied eight times.”
More on Eric and Zoom’s remarkable achievement yesterday
Emergence condemns injustice and racism, and we're committed to being part of the ongoing dialogue and efforts for change. As a start, we're donating to @NAACP_LDF, @PolicingEquity, & @eji_org.
Our thoughts:
Picking a VC is like getting married - without the option of divorce.
Don’t risk it.
