Description | B2B Power Exchange is a lead exchange group that focuses on helping entrepreneurs, CEOs, consultants and business development pros that sell to senior decision makers at companies with $10 million or more in annual revenues. Our members focus on large, complex business-to-business sales, so most lead groups and Chamber mixers don't provide them with the resources they need. We're different. Our forum of power players knows that the fastest way to the executive suite is through partnerships with others focused on B2B. That's why we leverage our combined skills and executive contacts to expand our pipelines and increase the value we offer our corporate clients. |

Todays venture capital environment demands experienced,
thoughtful and insightful venture investors who continuously
offer their portfolio companies the
crucial guidance needed to achieve success. At Levensohn
Venture Partners, we are committed to investing both time and
money in developing companies.
We invest in leading information technology companies that have
completed technology development and are now generating
revenues. These companies still face
management, sales, strategic and financial challenges as they
scale up their businesses. When we invest, we take a board seat
and play an active role in promoting the growth of the company.
Since our founding in 1996, we have made 27 private equity

investing in information technology companies in the early
stages of commercialization. These investments include Atheros,
BigFix, Broadlogic, Informative, KnowNow, Radiance, Rapt,

others.
We currently manage $164 million in two venture capital funds

Levensohn Venture Partners invests across information
technology areas, including software, communications and

across a wide range of themes. Many emerging companies have
finally addressed long-standing business problems with
innovative, next generation technologies. These technologies
can and will displace legacy incumbents and/or create new
market opportunities.
LVP remains focused on discovering the most promising
technologies and management teams for our investment portfolio.
