Zappos

“Brainstorm Ventures was among our first early stage investors. Their partnership and belief in our vision helped validate that Zappos was onto something big.”

– Tony Hsieh, CEO

OpenTable

“Brainstorm Ventures invested early on in OpenTable and Keith joined the board as one of the first outside directors. He helped me as a first time founder by acting as a sounding board, recruiting directors and investors, and advising on early stage issues like consumer research, resulting in our name change from EasyEats to OpenTable.”

– Chuck Templeton, Founder

KIO Networks

“I’ve known Eduardo for years. Brainstorm Ventures brought the technical know-how to Mexico from a US-based company to incubate KIO Networks and then backed us financially. We’re now a billion dollar company in large part thanks to Brainstorm.”

– Sergio Rosengaus, Co-Founder and CEO

Turing

“Brainstorm Ventures participated in Turing’s first funding round and was a steadfast partner since the beginning. Ariel made some valuable introductions that helped us grow our presence in Latin America.”

– Jonathan Siddharth, Co-Founder and CEO
