"Trinity is the ideal venture investor. The investment team is super hard working, highly accessible and extremely collaborative. Bix not only had the resources of two phenomenal Trinity board participants, but the entire firm's resources. The whole team was an incredible help with recruiting, strategy and networks and willingly rolled up their sleeves to aggressively help Bix succeed. I would highly recommend Trinity and their team to fellow entrepreneurs."

"Having Trinity Ventures as an investor is a valuable asset to SevenSpace. Our general partner from Trinity adds insight and analysis to many aspects of our business, and has played a key role in forging and facilitating some strategic partnerships on our behalf."
"As the market turned in late 2000, we — like many companies — had a near-death experience. But Trinity believed in Speedera, our executive team and our technology. Not only did they commit to invest in our second round, but they also rallied the investment community on our behalf. As a result, we not only survived, we raised $20 million at a time when many other companies were struggling to raise capital."
"The most important contribution Trinity has made to Sygate has been on the team-building front. Trinity has been instrumental in helping us to hire two of the current senior management team. The firm has both a deep network of executives and good relationships with a range of recruiters. Better yet, Trinity doesn't mind rolling up its sleeves to help with the blocking and tackling of getting a search done."
"It was an easy decision to work with Trinity again. At Blue Nile, Trinity Ventures was an instrumental partner in helping us build the company into an e-commerce leader. I am delighted to work with them again to make Wetpaint successful."
