Formed in late 2001, IDG Ventures Boston is an independent partnership helping entrepreneurs grow innovative companies on a global basis. With $280 million under management, the firm is focused on investing in early stage information and healthcare technology companies.

IDG Ventures Boston brings unique experience, perspective and resources to the start-ups we invest in. We invest in privately-held US start-up companies seeking capital to fuel growth and expand operations. We take an active role in the success of our companies, seeking opportunities to provide resources and assistance at the most critical stages of their development. We accelerate the growth of our portfolio companies and reduce early-stage risk by drawing on the expertise of our general partners and the resources of IDG.

IDG Ventures Boston is affiliated with IDG Ventures, a global $1 billion network of funds spanning Asia and North America. International Data Group, the world’s largest IT media company with 13,000 employees operation in 85 countries, is the flagship limited partner for IDG Ventures Boston. By leveraging the IDG platform -- an unparalleled combination of global, IT and BioIT market research, media and financing resources -- we help our companies understand their markets better and penetrate them faster than their competition. As one of the few truly global venture firms, IDG Ventures has both the international perspective and the local market expertise to help companies grow from startups to global success stories.
