## About JK&B Capital

JK&B Capital is a Chicago-based venture capital firm with more than $1.1 billion under cumulative management, which focuses on the Communications, Information Technologies, and Healthcare markets. JK&B has established a track record of generating exceptional returns through its unmatched technology and operational expertise and its rigorous research and investment approach.

▪ Proven Track Record Founded in 1996, JK&B has built a track record of generating exceptional returns for investors by identifying and investing in companies with technologies which have been critical to the growth of the world’s information economy.

A key to JK&B’s success has been its ability to leverage its substantial technology domain expertise to identify, analyze and access the most promising emerging technologies and the companies behind them. JK&B then provides these companies with financial support, strategic guidance and, most importantly, technical guidance to help them grow and prosper.

▪ Added Value JK&B’s Partners have come from senior management positions at some of the most successful firms in the technology industry.

Through their previous executive positions, the Partners have established an extensive network of industry contacts and proprietary relationships extending JK&B’s intellectual reach and offering its portfolio companies high-level access to potential customers, strategic partners, and financing sources.

JK&B is typically the lead investor in a funding round and its involvement extends well beyond board participation.

▪ Direct Access JK&B’s flat organizational structure and team-based approach allow the firm to respond very quickly to investment needs and market changes. JK&B believes that as technology becomes more sophisticated, venture capitalists must increasingly draw on specialized skills with a heavy focus on distinct technology expertise. The firm also takes a team-based approach to analysis and investment decision-making.

JK&B believes that there is a changing definition of success in the VC industry, and that firms that will flourish will be leaner, technically astute, and highly focused.
