5About Thayer Ventures
Thayer Ventures (Thayer) invests in technology companies that focus on the hospitality industry. In October 2009, the four Managing Directors of Thayer Ventures formed the firm's inaugural venture capital fund, Quest Hospitality Ventures (Fund I). Fund I closed on June 30, 2011, and currently has nine portfolio companies, with an additional 1-2 portfolio companies anticipated in 2012. Fund I was formed around a central thesis: the hospitality and travel industry is being transformed inside-out by technology, and given the challenges and nuances faced by entrepreneurs in these sectors, the firm's deep experience and relationships would provide incredible value to entrepreneurs and the companies they create.
