During the Western Land-Rush Age, competition was ruthless and the real fortune makers owned the water sources on which people, cattle and towns depended for survival. Civilization has advanced, but innovation is still dependent on technologies that are unique and disruptive to the way people live and work. Crystal Ventures invests in those technologies, and our portfolio has become today’s water source for global innovation.

We are dedicated to building these “water source” companies into “crystal” via a process of growth by adding value throughout the life of the investment - beginning at the starting point and leading to profitable financial exits and industry impact.

Crystal understands the fundamental elements of growing a company and believes those elements are analogous to nature’s patterns of creation. In nature, crisp, blue water flows through streams, eventually “crystallizing” into the solid foundation of rock that flourishes growth and becomes the green mountains. This process of growth requires time and an ecosystem of support. As its name and logo portray, Crystal is a portfolio of companies that represent the "crystallization" of worldwide innovation. Our portfolio begins with the underlying technologies that make up the infrastructure and communications to support civilization. Flowing over that infrastructure is a layer of enabling technologies – the hardware and software that enable people to create solutions. These technologies take shape in the solid formation of vertical content and consumer-driven and business-oriented applications we will come to rely on today and tomorrow.

Unlike the days of the Western Land-Rush, when towns created their own ecosystems for survival, today’s ecosystems are global in nature. Companies cannot afford to overlook global markets and opportunities. Crystal believes that globalization is driving a multi-national approach to venture capital investing and that Asia - especially the pan-China area that includes mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong - is a region with great potential. Our partners provide a diversification of skills, deep Asian cultural, private and governmental relationships, and strong US experiences with exceptional and creative investment expertise that supports this process of growth and development. We offer a unique combination of strong operational abilities from our successful track records running companies and managing their financial success paired with traditional venture capital investing acumen. Crystal delivers a fresh mindset and approach to our investments - one that is bi-coastal, multi-cultural, multilingual, and global. We call this ecosystem of support enhanced value-added venture capital investing.

Crystal Ventures provides value-added venture capital investing to North American, Asian and trans-Pacific technology companies that demonstrate a global impact on the way people live and work. With this in mind, we partner with upright and solid entrepreneurs who share in our vision to bring to market technology that impacts the lives of people around the world. We help to nurture a foundation that flourishes with financial success and corporate viability.
