scaleMatters is my third company financed by the Activate team. Two of Activate’s senior partners were instrumental in backing my first startup, Visual Networks, which became a major telecommunications equipment company. They proved to not only have the foresight to grasp our vision, but they were also constructive, responsive and, most importantly, supportive as we navigated the ups and downs of building our business. Based on our long history, I reached out to Activate to lead the first-round equity financing for my current company. We are creating a leading sales and marketing software automation company and I wouldn’t have it any other way than having Activate involved.
