  Trinity Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 1986 and
  headquartered in Menlo Park, California, with more than three decades of
  history backing mission-driven entrepreneurs across technology and consumer
  markets. The firm takes a deliberately personal, low-capital-to-partner
  approach to early-stage investing, positioning itself as "the call you want to
  make, not the call you have to make" and emphasizing intellectual candor and
  lasting founder relationships. Trinity invests primarily at seed, Series A and
  Series B, with checks generally ranging from roughly $1 million to $15 million
  and averaging around $5 million. Its focus spans enterprise software and cloud
  infrastructure, developer tools, fintech, digital media and marketing
  technology, consumer products and services, healthcare, and artificial
  intelligence. Over nine funds the firm has managed on the order of $1.3 billion
  in assets and produced a track record that includes multiple unicorns, IPOs and
  roughly 130 acquisitions. Notable investments include Starbucks, New Relic,
  Auth0, Turo, Care.com, Zulily, Blue Nile, Aruba Networks, Infoblox, Cohesity,
  Outreach, InfluxData, Contentful and Docker. Trinity invests primarily in the
  United States.
