Paraphrasing (7th paragraph)
Text
A different and more unusual operational model is provided by Crescendo Ventures, a global venture capital firm founded in 1993, which opened in London in 1999 without a dedicated European fund. With over $1 .1 billion and more than 80 active portfolio companies, the firm works closely with several European affiliate venture capital firms including Innovacom in Paris, Wellington Partners in Munich and ADD Partners in London. Cresecendo’s philosophy is to have a global fund with the aim of funding the best opportunities rather than meeting regional allocation requirements, ensuring that all portfolio companies receive equal attention from the firm. As a result, the London office draws from the same fund used for crescendo’ s investment in the US.
