Tippet Venture Partners

Tippet Venture Partners (TVP) is a venture capital firm based in Palo Alto, California. It invests in private and public technology companies and manages its venture portfolio, with the stated objective of achieving long-term capital gains.

The firm describes its approach as providing patient capital to entrepreneurs and management teams pursuing innovative solutions to problems in large markets. Investment framing centres on three elements - the quality of the management team, the innovation of the approach, and the size of the market addressed - with the aim of building leading companies over an extended holding period. TVP positions itself as an investment partner to founders rather than as an operator of consumer products or services.

Holdings span both privately held and publicly listed technology companies, a combination that allows the firm to manage a venture portfolio across stages of company maturity. Funds managed by the firm are overseen by General Partner Andy Sheehan, who is also identified as a Managing Partner. Details on fund size, typical check size, sector focus and founding date are not publicly specified.
