Why do I take a call from Rosewood at 9:00 at night? First, because it’s fun to be involved in helping them build new companies. Their passion for what they do is contagious. Second, I know that every time they call I’m going to make a difference to a Rosewood company. Why? Because they listen. I know very few principals in VC firms that involve so many great people in their undertakings and expect substantive contributions. – Don Fisher
The team at Rosewood is not looking for the quick hits. They understand that building great brands and building great companies take time, money, strategic thinking, superior execution and partnerships. Rosewood can deliver and I have seen them do so over and over again. – Bob Fisher
I sit on very few boards. I chose Rosewood as one because I’ve known several of the principals for most of my career and working with them is great because, first and foremost, they are company and brand builders. And that’s what I love to do. – Meg Whitman
Rosewood delivers the unique combination of very experienced investors and seasoned company builders. I am happy to be an investor and an advisor. – Warren Hellman
Rosewood has outstanding people and one of the best networks of operating and financial executives that I have seen in 30 years in venture capital. At Rosewood, bringing value added to portfolio companies is a reality, not just a concept. – Wally Hawley
Participation on Rosewood’s advisory board means involvement with top quality individuals in an exciting and constructive process of building young companies.

The financial markets are fickle but there is one constant – companies with great management teams and market leadership always do well. That’s what I admire about Rosewood. They don’t follow markets, they build great companies. Being part of this effort and working with people I like and respect is its own reward. – Mayo Shattuck
