VC Breakfast: Garage Technology Ventures - Focus on Software, services, clean technology, and material sciences (not life sciences)

Garage Technology Ventures is a seed-stage and early-stage venture capital fund. We’re looking to invest in entrepreneurial teams with big ideas and a need for seed capital to turn their ideas into great companies. We are willing to invest in unproven teams attacking unproven markets with unproven solutions. On a more tactical level, the characteristics of the companies we invest in are:
 Sectors: Software, services, clean technology, and material sciences (not life sciences)
 Funding: Seeking seed or early investments from $500,000 to $3,000,000

Bill Reichert, Managing Director, has over 20 years of experience as an entrepreneur and an operating executive. Since joining Garage in 1998, Bill has focused on early-stage information technology and materials science companies. He sits on the Boards of CaseStack, WhiteHat, ClearFuels, and cFares. Prior to Garage, Bill was a co-founder or senior executive in several venture-backed technology startups, including Trademark Software, The Learning Company and Academic Systems. Earlier in his career, he worked at McKinsey & Company, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., and the World Bank. Bill earned a B.A. at Harvard College and an M.B.A. from Stanford University.
