  more than $15.5 billion in capital and has backed over 700 companies across
  its history. Norwest invests across the full lifecycle — from early-stage
  venture through late-stage growth equity — with sector focus spanning
  enterprise and B2B SaaS, cloud and infrastructure, AI, fintech, healthcare

  model, backing its founders with Portfolio Success programs across talent,
  operations, leadership, and go-to-market. Notable investments include Plaid,
  Uber, Spotify, Opendoor, Gong, Vuori, Kendra Scott, Casper, Udemy, Avetta,
