In addition to traditional deal flow channels, JVP partners with media industry leaders to identify and develop new companies and business models in the digital media space. JVP also identifies core technologies in various markets, applying these technologies to the media space through new initiatives. Proven Track Record The foundations for JVP's track record derive from the firm's entrepreneurial spirit, experienced team and agile investment strategy. Through twenty one initial public offerings, acquisitions and mergers for its portfolio companies, JVP has helped to create some of the largest companies to come out of Israel over the past eighteen years. Specifically, JVP was the seed investor in Netro Corporation, in which JVP sold its position when the company was traded on NASDAQ for $5.5 billion. JVP was also the lead investor and the largest shareholder in Chromatis Networks, which was sold to Lucent in 2000 for $4.8 billion. Additionally, JVP was the largest shareholder in Precise, selling its position in 2001 when the market cap was in the range of $700 million, and in Cogent Communications, which, in March 2007 when JVP sold its position, was trading on NASDAQ at a market cap of $1.2 billion. In July 2010 JVP's portfolio company QLIK Technologies was listed on NASDAQ, EFTA_R1_00012129 EFTA01734325 and with a recent market cap of roughly $2.0 billion, is being perceived as one of the most successful IPO's of a European-originated company in close to a decade. Beyond these examples, JVP has contributed significantly to a variety of technology companies that exited through industry sales and NASDAQ IPOs. In March 2011 JVP was chosen by the readers of Private Equity International as the leading venture capital firm in Israel, among the top three in Europe and the fund with one of the best three exits for 2010 as a result of the QLIK IPO.
