About Us > MetaCarta Investors

Sevin Rosen

Sevin Rosen was founded in 1981 by L.J. Sevin and Ben Rosen, who quickly established a reputation for success. In the past two decades, the firm has assembled a team with deep operating, technology, and venture capital experience. SRF's impressive track record is, in large measure, based upon its team approach and that team's extensive experience working together. Since the beginning, SRF's emphasis on very early stage investments, particularly incubations and seed financings, has demanded that our partners work closely with entrepreneurs in what we know is the real long term team sport: building companies.

Chevron Technology Ventures

To gain access to valuable technologies originally developed outside the energy industry, we make direct and venture capital investments outside the energy space. Since its inception in 1999, this effort has targeted companies whose innovations could benefit ChevronTexaco's core business while at the same time providing superior financial returns. The technologies and products of these companies should be applicable across multiple markets yet adaptable for use within the energy industry.


In-Q-Tel

When In-Q-Tel was created in 1999, the CIA determined that it needed a means to engage with young innovative companies that were building cutting edge commercial technologies. In the post 9/11 world, where direct threats are real and lives are at risk, it is clear that we cannot afford to have less than the very best technologies to address the most urgent intelligence challenges. The agility that enables In-Q-Tel to rapidly discover, develop and deploy new capabilities is more important than ever. With its carefully structured mix of innovative R&D and investment capital, In-Q-Tel's strategic focus enables it to take the calculated risks necessary to serve the United States' most vital national interest.
