Atlas Venture

  

Atlas Venture is a transatlantic partnership of venture capitalists focused on early stage investments in the technology and life science sectors with offices in Boston and London and managing over $2 billion in committed capital.

Graham O'Keeffe is a Partner within the technology group.  He joined Atlas Venture in 1998 and focuses on communications technology companies, particularly in the wireless and semiconductor sectors.  He is often the first institutional investor in a company, working with the founders to take an idea from inception to commercialization with the goal of creating a global, high growth business.  This was the case with Orthogon Systems, a wireless systems company which Atlas funded in 2000, was acquired by Motorola in 2006 and now has annual sales of over $100m.  Graham is an active board member on his portfolio companies, helping companies with strategy, hiring, partnerships, financing and exit strategies.  He sat on the board of Belgian public company BarcoNet during its acquisition by Scientific Atlanta in 2002, and currently manages his firm’s investments in Icera, picoChip, Ubiquisys and Phyworks.

Prior to joining Atlas Venture in 1998 Graham was Marketing Director at handheld computer specialist Psion Computers. He previously held engineering and operational roles at Nokia in Europe and Asia.   He holds a degree in Engineering Science and Economics from Oxford University and a Masters in Management Science from MIT.
