In January 2011, USV raised what I believe was the first “opportunity fund.” It was a $225 million fund, just like our other three $225 million funds raised in 2007, 2010, and 2013. Our goal is to make about 30 investments in each fund (2007 has 28, 2010 had 31) that range between $5m and $15m over the life of the company.
