Harmonic combines an established, successful investment team with proven, world class tech operators to invest in market leading growth companies and deliver unparalleled support and guidance toward their success. Harmonic offers a different yet intuitively advantaged model for late-stage venture investing. Our approach addresses the key challenges and opportunities of rapidly-scaling enterprises and provides discerning management teams the ideal partner to help build market-defining companies. The firm was launched by three senior investors who have worked together for almost 20 years. They’ve backed a variety of industry-leading companies, including Teladoc (NASDAQ: TDOC), Peloton (NASDAQ: PTON), ServiceMax (acquired by GE), Applause (acquired by Vista Equity Partners), SocialTables (acquired by Cvent), Taulia (acquired by SAP), and Venafi (acquired by Thoma Bravo). Within this established strategy, Harmonic has now deeply integrated a select group of highly-accomplished, previously venture-backed CEOs. These CEO Partners are universally-respected operators and broadly-networked sector experts that have generated over $10B in exits. We offer expansion-stage management teams a unique value proposition: an experienced lead investor, along with a recent, relevant, energized, and focused world-class operator on their Board at the exact stage where this insight and engagement can have the most impact.

Congratulations to Jyoti Bansal and Team Harness on their acquisition of Split Software! https://lnkd.in/eyx_DAEQ
Incredible profile on Harness CEO Jyoti Bansal. Proud to be partnered with Jyoti and the team! https://lnkd.in/dKuuQe69
When it comes to multi-company CEOs, we all know the usual suspects: Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey, Steve Jobs. But there’s another fascinating founder doing double duty (actually triple duty) who isn’t a household name yet. Meet Jyoti Bansal. Bansal sold AppDynamics to Cisco in 2017 for $3.7 billion. It was a wild deal, given that the transaction occurred the day before AppDynamics was slated to go public on the Nasdaq. Since then, Bansal’s story has become more incredible. After exiting AppDynamics, he started another software delivery platform called Harness, serving as its CEO. He then cofounded and became CEO of Traceable AI. And then, for good measure, he cofounded a VC firm called Unusual Ventures. Harness, last valued at $3.7 billion, has just reached a new milestone: The startup raised $150 million in debt financing from First Citizens-owned Silicon Valley Bank and Hercules Capital, Fortune has exclusively learned.

Congrats to Misha Esipov and Nova Credit on this product launch. Traditional credit scores have felt outdated for years now... it's great to see the Nova Credit team lead the charge on this much needed innovation for our entire credit ecosystem. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ea87H4Ya
Have you ever imagined a better credit score? We did, and today we are proud to introduce the NovaScore Cash Flow (NSCF). 📢 📢 Traditional credit scores only tell half the story - history of debt repayment. In recent years they have become murkier than ever: factors like credit builder products, soft inquiry data, government stimulus, and Buy Now, Pay Later loans are not accurately reflected, leaving lenders flying blind. The NovaScore Cash Flow (NSCF) is an easy-to-use, empirically driven and statistically sound risk score that leverages bank transaction data to assess creditworthiness. By leveraging NSCF, lenders can make better lending decisions based on a more complete financial profile of an applicant’s ability to pay than traditional credit scores alone. Built from 1,000+ FCRA-compliant attributes that are performance-tested against actual risk data to ensure predictive power, NSCF has demonstrated statistically significant lift across various use cases and segments - up to 15% lift in KS on average. As part of our Cash Atlas solution, NSCF makes cash flow underwriting adoption even easier. Get deeper data, richer scores and better predictions with NovaScore Cash Flow.
