Jon Callaghan, Managing Partner and Founder of True Ventures, founded True because he saw a gap in the market for experienced VC funding for the earliest stage companies. Having spent the majority of his career with these entrepreneurs, he knows what they need most in an investor: an experienced, valuable, and trustworthy partner. True strives to be this partner for every investment.
Jons 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. Jons direct startup experience means hes seen the world many times from the entrepreneurs point of view. This is where hes most at home, and his vision and insight make him the entrepreneurs confidant.
