CRV is a venture capital firm focused on early-stage investments in technology. The firm was founded in 1970 to commercialize research that came out of MIT. Its name comes from the Boston area Charles River.

History[edit]

The firm has raised over $4.3 billion since inception across 18 funds. Upon closing of the 16th fund, the firm rebranded to CRV.[1] Prior to that, CRV's 15th fund closed in February 2012 with $375 million of investor commitments.[2] CRV's 14th fund raised $320 million of commitments.[3]

In 2013, it purchased a large portion of Pebble Technology for 15 million dollars and is credited as the primary reason why Pebble was sold to Fitbit in December 2016. This netted CRV nearly 40 million dollars.[4]

Among CRV's portfolio companies are Airtable, Amgen, Aveksa,[5] Blippy, Cascade Communications, ChipCom, Ciena Corporation, ClassPass, Continental Cablevision, Crushpath, DoorDash, Drift, Earbits, Fiksu, iBasis, mabl,[6] Netezza, OneLogin,[7] Parametric Technology Corporation, PillPack, Ring, SimpliVity, Sonus Networks, SpeechWorks, Stella,[8] Stratus Technologies, Sybase,[9] Twitter, Udacity, Vignette Corporation, Yammer,[10] and Zendesk.[11]

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
