  • Celebrating 25 Years Helping Innovative Companies Navigate Growth Welcome!
    North Atlantic Capital 2012 Celebrating 25 Years helping innovative companies navigate growth Welcome! This brochure celebrates the 25-year voyage of North Atlantic Capital since its founding in 1986. The brochure is intended to summarize the evolution of North Atlantic’s investment strategy and shine light on some of our more successful portfolio companies. We are most grateful to the management teams of these and the many other portfolio companies in which North Atlantic has invested. Interspersed among the pages are pictures of North Atlantic’s collection of ship models from the golden age of American sailing. Each model represents a vessel that enjoyed notable success due to its innovative design and the dedication and hard work of its skipper and crew, characteristics shared by most successful ventures. We hope this brochure kindles your interest in North Atlantic. Please feel free to get in touch with us if you have questions or would like to discuss opportuni- ties to work together. David M. Coit Mark J. Morrissette Co-Founder & Managing Director Managing Director Voyage The venture capital business has changed dramatically over the past 25 years as the world has grown flatter. Access to knowledge, resources and markets has been enhanced by the evolution of the Internet, the cloud and mobile communica- tions. At the same time, capital under management in the venture industry has grown significantly. These contextual changes have made the venture capital mar- ket more efficient and led successful funds to become more specialized over time. When North Atlantic Capital was founded in 1986, funds were considerably smaller and investment activity was largely regional.

  • FASTEST CLIPPER SHIP 1 X 60 BUILDING Clipper Ships Changed the World with Their Cutting-Edge Technology
    BUILDING THE WORLD’S FASTEST CLIPPER SHIP 1 x 60 BUILDING Clipper ships changed the world with their cutting-edge technology. Built for THE WORLD’S speed and carrying more sail than any ship before or since, they smashed FASTEST records as they sped across the world’s oceans. Huge crowds would turn out to watch clipper ships like Flying Cloud and the Cutty Sark arrive in port. These ships were the superstars that made the California Gold Rush of the 1850s CLIPPER possible and opened up new markets thanks to their ability to carry precious cargo faster than ever before. But with the arrival of steamships, clippers faded SHIP into legend as the last great days of sailing faded from the headlines. But now, a new clipper ship is to be built in a rare and challenging 1 x 60 experiment. As big as the Cutty Sark, the Shabab Oman II will take to the seas, contact designed by computer and built with traditional craft skills as well as the latest Tom Koch, Vice President technologies. The result should be a supership—the fastest clipper ever built.

    Making Dioramas The Tawhiti Museum uses many models in its displays – from ‘life-size’ fi gures, the size of real people – right down to tiny fi gures about 20mm tall - with several other sizes in between these two. Why are different sizes used? To answer this, look at the Turuturu Mokai Pa model. The fi gures and buildings are very small. If we had used life-size fi gures and buildings the model would be enormous, bigger than the museum in fact –covering several hectares! So to make a model that can easily fi t into a room of the museum we choose a scale that we can reduce the actual size by and build the model to that scale – in the case of the Turuturu Mokai Pa model the scale is 1 to 90 (written as 1:90) – that means the model is one ninetieth of real size – or to put it another way, if you multiply anything on the model by 90, you will know how big the original is. A human fi gure on the model is 20mm – if you multiply that by 90 you get 1800mm - the height of a full size person. So as the modeler builds the model, by measuring anything from life (or otherwise knowing its size) and dividing by 90 he knows how big to model that item – this means the model is an accurate scale model of the original – there is no ‘guess work’. How do we choose which scale to make a model? There are three main considerations: 1) How much room do we have available for the display? Clearly the fi nished model needs to fi t into the available space in the museum, so by selecting an appropriate scale we can determine the actual size of the model.

    Überreicht vom Verfasser. Ostasiatische Decapoden. V. Die Oxyrhynehen und Schlussteil. (Geographische Übersicht der Decapoden Japans.) Von Heinrich Balss, München. (Mit 1 Tafel und 2 Textfiguren.) Abdruck aus dem Archiv für Naturgeschichte44. Herausgegeben von Embrik Strand ord. Professor der Zoologie und Direktor des Systematisch-Zoologischen Instituts der Universität Riga «0. Jahrgang 1924 Abteilung A 5. Heft Ausgegeben im September 1924. NICOLAI SC HE VERLAGS -BUCHHANDLUNG R. STRICKER Berlin. Beiträge zur Kenntnis der Lokomotion der Arachniden. 19 Nachtrag während der Korrektur. Durch die Liebenswürdigkeit des Herrn Dr. Penther erhielt ich zwei Exemplare von Eurypelma rubropilosa Auss. aus der Sammlung des naturhistorischen Museums zu Wien. Herr Dr. E. Hesse (Berlin), überließ mir gütigst ein Exemplar von Pterinochilus murinus Pocock. So konnte ich feststellen, daß die Gelenke tetrapneumoner Spinnen in allen wesentlichen Teilen mit denen der Dipneumones übereinstimmen. Die Coxen bilden mit dem Rumpfe ein unechtes Gelenk. Sie inserieren mit einer schmalen, ringförmigen Gelenkhaut, die nirgends durch einen Kondylus unterbrochen ist. Die Rumpfgelenke der Agaleniden Tegenaria und Coelotes sind ganz ähnlich gebaut. Die Coxa hat zwar eine pfannenartige Bildung, aber das Sternum trägt keinen Vorsprung, der den Gelenkkopf dazu bilden könnte. Bei Trochosa terricola Thor., Pirata piscatorius (Clerck) und Lycosa tarsalis Thor, fand ich ähnliche Verhältnisse, nur war die Pfanlie viel schärfer ausgeprägt. Im Gegen- satz dazu besitzen Clubiona pallidula Clerck und Cl. caerulescens L. Koch am Sternum spitze Vorsprünge, die in die Pfanne der Coxa eingreifen. Dasselbe ist bei den Dysderiden Harpactes lepidus C. L. Koch und Segestria senoculata Lin. der Fall. Am stärksten fand ich dies Gelenk bei Dysdera ausgeprägt. Ich werde dies alles in einem besonderen Aufsatze mit Abbildungen klarlegen.

While the former provide pattern, the latter give texture. Objects that directly link people to historical events allow us to touch the past. Some are very personal connections between indi- viduals and their ancestors. Others are the touch- stones of our collective memory. Buried in the sand of Lake Superior is the USS ESSEX, an artifact of the nation’s maritime past.
