Noel Fenton
Noel Fenton is a Founding General Partner of Trinity Ventures, the Menlo Park-based venture capital firm he co-founded in 1986. Before entering venture capital, he built two companies from scratch as CEO — Acurex (scaling revenues to $65M over a decade) and Covalent Systems (profitable at $12M in three years) — and that operating DNA defines everything about how he invests. With a BS in Chemistry from Cornell and an MBA from Stanford, Fenton has spent four decades backing enterprise software and B2B companies, with notable wins including LoopNet (IPO), ServiceMax (acquired by GE), SciQuest (IPO), and DotLoop (acquired by Zillow). Despite repeated attempts at retirement, he is still at his desk by 7:30 AM.
Tim McAdam
Tim McAdam is a General Partner at TCV (Technology Crossover Ventures), one of the world's leading growth equity firms, where he has focused on enterprise software, security, and tech-enabled services since joining in 2010. With a career in venture and growth investing that stretches back to the early 1990s at TA Associates, GTCR, and Trinity Ventures, McAdam has backed category-defining companies including GitLab, Splunk, Avalara, Rapid7, Alarm.com, OneTrust, and Vectra. An unlikely archaeology major from Dartmouth turned perennial enterprise investor, he combines a Stanford MBA pedigree with a nose for operational software that sticks.
