| The Halo Fund
The Halo Fund is an early-stage venture capital fund focused on high-growth investments at the front edge of business and technological innovation in California. We invest in companies led by extraordinary people who are pursuing opportunities in consumer products, life sciences, information and clean technology. The first Halo Fund (Halo I) was raised in 2000. Since then, two additional funds have been raised with current investments being made out of the third fund (Halo III). The Halo Funds leverage an exclusive relationship with TAF to pre-screen the majority of our dealflow. Most Halo investments are initially screened by TAF, which evaluates thousands of start-up ventures every year. The most promising of these investment opportunities are further evaluated through Halo Fund's due diligence process. The partnership then makes an independent investment decision based on venture capital criteria. |
