"Shortly after I took over as CEO, I realized we needed a new outside investor. The choice was easy – I turned to Crosslink. Crosslink is a firm that truly understands its portfolio companies. The team provides critical insight into our industry through their contacts and research capabilities as a result of their deep involvement in both the private and public capital markets. Crosslink believes in investing in solid management teams with vision and a proven track record and then stands behind. Crosslink has been an outstanding Board member providing unique perspectives and sound advice. Together we built the company into a fast-growing, profitable entity well positioned to exploit a huge global market. The recent sale of Yipes to one of the world’s largest telecom companies at a significant premium speaks to the unique value we created. Crosslink has been an extremely valuable partner to us."
