We back technical teams working on breakthrough products.

"I have been working with the Foothill Ventures team very closely for a long time: we’ve worked together on our company's strategy, financing, and hiring. Over the years we have also built a close personal relationship that goes beyond any one area.”

“Foothill Ventures has always gone above and beyond other VCs for us. As a small example, they literally gave us their office to hold our “offsite”. More importantly, they are always there for strategic advice and support. They have built a community around their portfolio, which is largely comprised of technical founders (like us), so it is easy to find like-spirited people. And, for companies like ours that need it, they are skilled at bridging the gap between China and the US for financing and business development.”

Developing therapeutics is a long, risky road that takes investors who are both patient and comfortable with scientific enterprise. The team from Foothill Ventures has consistently displayed both patience and scientific expertise. They are valuable members of our Board of Directors and among investors we’ve encountered, they are the top tier.”

“When Metalenz started in 2017, Foothill Ventures was one of the few VCs who had the technical capability to immediately see the potential of our deep tech. Since then, there have been multiple challenges—ranging from technical, business development, leadership, IP protection… you name it. Foothill Ventures has always been willing to dive into the weeds and help clear the way or to let the company grow on its own, whatever we need. We couldn’t ask for a better partner.”
