Investment and Acquisition Interests of Benchmark, Google and DFJ Revealed

Who does not want a private one-to-one session with companies such as Benchmark Capital, Google and Draper Fisher and Jurvetson (DFJ) to pitch their companies to? The folks at MDA and Expara are arranging for post-iMatch International Launchpad private half hour meetings on 10th Dec with these investors for companies which fit the criteria.

Here is a list of what these companies are looking out for investments or as acquisition targets.

What Benchmark, Google and DFJ are looking for

Benchmark Capital: Teams with less than 15 FTEs, post product, early customer betas, significant core tech in enterprise infrastructure or consumer internet. Agnostic on prior funding or geographic location.

Google M&A: Early stage technology startups. Core web and mobile technologies and services. Consumer side web offerings. Enterprise cloud offerings and online advertising would be a good fit as well. Good to have some cool gaming companies come in as well.

DFJ India: Early to mid stage. Investment requirements can be anywhere from from 1M to 10M USD. Tech bias (media/mobile and cleantech). Not interested in enterprise software or services.
