Norwest Venture Partners

When Norwest Managing General Partner Jeff Crowe evaluates CEOs he looks for a number of qualities. 

◻️ a deep understanding of the customer
◻️ sound business judgment
◻️ the ability to sell customers, employees, and investors
◻️ the ability to inspire people
◻️ a leader who can attract strong people and get them to work together
◻️ someone humble enough to listen but decisive enough to act

Button Co-Founder and CEO Michael Jaconi checked ✅ all of those boxes. 

When Michael co-founded Button in 2014, his goal was to create a win-win-win solution for retailers, publishers, and creators alike through its deep-linking technology. 

If his company could deliver on those goals, Jaconi was confident he and his co-founders could build an enduring business. 

With some seed money and Series A funding, the company developed the Button platform and began to make their vision a reality. 

These factors — the innovative product and CEO — were key in Jeff’s decision to invest. In 2017, Norwest led Button’s Series B and since then we’ve partnered with the company in many ways to fuel its growth.

In the inspiring words of engineer and NASA astronaut Mae Jemison, “Never limit yourself because of others’ limited imaginations.”

Our team hosted a special lunch (with treats from women-owned Three Babes Bakery!) to commemorate Women’s History Month, which was designated by Congress in 1987 to honor the struggles and achievements of American women. 

Some of the key moments for women throughout the history of the U.S. 

July 1848 - The Seneca Falls Convention, the first women’s rights convention in the U.S., launches the suffrage movement. 

December 1869 - Wyoming Territory becomes the first place to give women the right to vote. 

June 1963 - Congress passes The Equal Pay Act, which was the first piece of federal legislation to prohibit sex-based discrimination. 

August 1965 - Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 enabling all women the ability to vote. 

Throughout history, women have been at the forefront of change, breaking barriers and shaping the world we live in today. From activists to artists, scientists to entrepreneurs, their contributions are immeasurable. 

Happy Women’s History Month! 

What do uplifting tunes and groundbreaking healthcare have in common? They both resonate with Murthy Simhambhatla, the upbeat president & CEO of our portfolio company SetPoint Medical. Just like his favorite hit "On Top of the World," Murthy's work in healthcare is striking a chord of positive change.

Steering SetPoint, Murthy's quest is clear: to offer a fresh spin on treating autoimmune diseases. SetPoint is shaking things up with a small, implantable device — a device that’s all about calming inflammation smartly without the heavy costs and side effects of the usual treatments.

Murthy's vision is not just about getting these treatments out there; it’s about hitting the high notes of innovation and making a real impact on people's lives. Every step forward SetPoint takes under his leadership feels like a leap towards a healthier, brighter future.

Pop in your headphones and feel on top of the world while listening to our playlist featuring inspiring tunes handpicked by our portfolio company leaders: https://nvp.co/3WzfdtI
