Hakkımda

A General Partner at Norwest Venture Partners (NVP), Vab Goel evaluates investment opportunities in the systems, services and Internet-related sectors. Companies need more than an infusion of capital to succeed. Goel and the partners at NVP work diligently with management teams to think critically about key strategic issues, business building initiatives and how collectively they can help drive increased shareholder value.

On NVP’s behalf, Goel serves as a board observer for API management provider Apigee Corp.; user-based search engine company Veveo Inc.; and marketing agency for mobile phones company Pontis Inc. Goel has also invested in such companies as high definition videoconferencing provider LifeSize Communications (acquired by Logitech); enterprise virtualization provider Qumranet, Inc. (acquired by Red Hat); and virtual marketing events provider Unisfair (acquired by InterCall).

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Goel, a former network engineer, offers extensive operational experience in the communications and infrastructure sectors to determine viable and strong investment strategies. Currently, he serves as a General Partner at Norwest Venture Partners (NVP), a global, multi-stage investment firm that makes early and late stage venture, as well as growth equity, investments across a wide range of sectors. There are a number of key attributes Goel and NVP consider when partnering with entrepreneurs. Most importantly, they assess the team’s domain expertise, track record and passion to build and grow a company. Specifically, Goel and the team analyze the size of the market (Is it large enough?) and determine whether the company is considered to be a breakthrough project with world-class solutions that are highly differentiated. The NVP team also looks closely at the domain expertise of the founders and engineers (Do they have a proven track record? Do the entrepreneurs have the true passion and vision to build the company?). In addition, Goel and his fellow partners need to be convinced that the differentiation is defendable, sustainable and offers a unique value proposition to the customer (customer validation, ROI and traction are critical). Lastly, the business must be capital efficient—particularly in today’s economic climate.
