Jon Callaghan

Jon is truly passionate about early stage companies and founded True because he saw a gap in the market for experienced VC funding for the earliest stage companies.

His long history with startups began in 1986 when he founded his first company, Mountain Bike Outfitters, Inc. Over the next several years, he would go on to co-found Chemdex Corporation with David Perry, now NexPrise Corporation (NASDAQ: NXPS), and Greenwich LLC, a streaming music company, which was acquired by iCast.

At Summit Partners, Jon started his venture career as an associate focused on growth stage investments in the software industry. Jon also met and worked closely with True co-founder Phil Black at Summit. Jon then joined AOL's Greenhouse, the venture capital/incubator for AOL.

With the Internet just beginning, Jon jumped in, joining CMGi's @Ventures group in 1996. @Ventures was the world's first internet-only venture firm and, at the time, managed a whopping $25 million fund. The Internet grew rapidly, and @Ventures grew along with it. By 2001, Jon was a Managing Partner, and the firm managed over $3 billion. His @Ventures deals include Critical Path (NASDAQ "CPTH"), Gamers.com, Hotlinks, Onelist/eGroups (acquired by Yahoo), Promedix (acquired by Ventro – NASDAQ "VNTR"), and Ancestry.com (NASDAQ "ACOM").

Jon's venture capital career spans 17 years and includes consistent early stage success. Before founding True, he was a Managing Director at Globespan, where he served on the boards of Copan Systems, FilmLoop, Glu Mobile (fka Sorrent), Ingrian Networks, Next Medium Networks, Nominum Corp., Plaxo, Sigma Dynamics, and Vazu.
