Testimonials
“Meritage was instrumental in guiding us through a very turbulent time in the financial markets, as well as the ongoing market evolution. Their experience, know-how, and willingness to work with our management team to act as a true partner enabled us to secure a favorable outcome for the shareholders – I highly recommend them.”
Mike Kavanagh, Former CEO, NewPath Networks, Current President, DAS Networks Crown Castle
“As an entrepreneur and business operator, I have the utmost respect for the way Meritage runs its business. The information advantage they gained during their disciplined approach to diligence enabled them to quickly act on their promise to create value for our company.”
Chip Kahn, CEO, IP Commerce
“Meritage has been a great partner, providing sound advice and helping us turn potential customers into real ones. I’d be happy to do another deal with them.”

“Meritage takes a longer-term view of their investments, helping ensure the success of their portfolio companies. Meritage doesn’t second guess me at every turn, and you can’t underestimate the impact of that kind of support.”
Bear Poth, CEO, Trillion Partners
“Meritage has provided tremendous value to Atreus, both the company as a whole and to the management team individually. Meritage has provided insights into market dynamics helping Atreus set the course for growth and focus. The Meritage team has also provided support at various stages of the company’s life cycle, through financing rounds and more strategic initiatives as the company addresses long-term growth. The Meritage model is really about finding a path where both parties benefit, and that is extremely motivating for the company. We would work with Meritage again.”
Andrea Baptiste, CEO, Atreus Systems
“Unlike most venture capital firms, Meritage offers a unique approach you won’t find elsewhere: a deep and available team of professionals who help fund and support your business, coupled with board representation from proven operating executives who offer insights into managing your business. Meritage has played a key role in the development of Cdigix through initiatives as broad as syndicating our latest investment round, to participation in development of our strategic and operating plans, to networking our company for business development opportunities. With Meritage, you have a financial partner you can count on and trust and you have a team that is motivated to build value in your business.”
Larry Jacobson, CEO, Cdigix
“A VC should set expectations relatively early in the process to help an entrepreneur better understand the current market environment and the potential value of the deal. It’s a barrier to trust when the valuation is the last thing being discussed. It wastes time and creates enormous frustration. Meritage does an exceptional job at communicating throughout the entire process, which tempers expectations and shows respect for the entrepreneur.”
Juan Rodriguez, Chairman & Chief Technologist/Founder, Exabyte Corporation
“The investment team at Meritage isn’t just financially driven. They also have operating and real-life experience in building successful businesses. The real issue with most investors today is that they run for the door at the first sign of a problem. Jack (Tankersley) takes a leadership role with the investors which I think is unique. He continues to be a guiding force because he’s got a vision for our company.”
Art Zeile, CEO, Inflow Group, Inc.
