Golden Networking Hosting Monthly Venture Capital Happy Hour in New York

Dec. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- On Tuesday, December 6, 2011, venture capitalists and future business leaders will have the opportunity to mingle during a special Golden Networking Happy Hour event. This will be a unique opportunity to connect with the visionaries, investors, and advisors of the next Facebook, Google, and Groupon.

In recent news from the venture capital arena, AOL co-founder Steve Case and two former AOL colleagues, Ted Leonsis and Donn Davis, have raised $450 million for a new venture capital fund, according to Evelyn M. Rusli of The New York Times.

Rusli reports: The Revolution growth fund will operate under the umbrella of Revolution, Mr. Case’s investment firm based in Washington, D.C. The team will make investments of $25 million to $50 million in later-stage, consumer-oriented technology companies, largely located on the East Coast.

It is a notable shift for Revolution, which was founded in 2005 and has mainly focused on smaller investments financed from Mr. Case’s personal fortune.

Now, through the Revolution growth fund, the firm has brought on its first institutional limited partners, including the Hillman Company, a major investor and an early backer of venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.”
