    Strictly Mobile 2013

    Annual Review Strictly Mobile !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2013! !!!!!! Annual Review 2013 Our entrepreneurs are our coinvestors, our partners in the mission to create large, sustainable and valuable game–changing companies. No matter how much time we spend understanding market dynamics, value drivers and trends, or how much we drill into financials, assess intellectual property rights and analyze code, our success is indelibly linked to the success of our entrepreneurs. Each one of them is talented, driven, ambitious, and visionary. And we count ourselves as fortunate to work with them every day. Without them, there is no world–changing industry transformation, disruption or reinvention: There is just consensus, coincidence and lost opportunity. We have the benefit of working simultaneously with many people in various subsectors of mobile, but we recognize that our entrepreneurs are committing all of their time, effort and value into one startup at a time. This is why we have a singular focus on mobile, so that everything we do--from our private founders’ - dinners to our Strictly Mobile Conference, from our incredible network of advisors to our deep domain expertise--adds value to our entrepreneurs and the companies they are building. Without such a sharp focus, we could not have facilitated one of the most unique and differentiated networks in the mobile startup ecosystem. The pages of our report this year describe the exciting opportunities being pursued by the entrepreneurs we have partnered with and their companies. Their stories provide the reader with the clear understanding that our approach to success goes beyond looking at these firms as mere investments in a portfolio: They are vital partnerships.
