Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV) was established in 1995 to capitalize on the emergence of the Internet, and to create a new model for Internet investing by combining the best of venture capital and public market investing in one firm. Historically, there was a strong delineation between private and public markets, with groups organized either as venture capital entities or public money management firms. With the emergence of the Internet, TCV felt that those distinctions were less meaningful. Internet industry focus and expertise coupled with the financial flexibility to invest in companies throughout their high growth phase would be the key to a successful partnership. This "crossover model" of investing, with tightly integrated private and public investing, provides the firm and its portfolio companies with unique knowledge and insights. With over $1.6 billion in capital raised since inception, TCV is at the forefront of this new model of venture investing.
