Seven Rosen Venture Partners

Seven Rosen Venture Partners appears in Ron Conway on Founder Advocacy, Angel Investing, and the Internet’s First Wave as Ben Rosen’s venture-capital firm before and during his partnership with Ron Conway. Conway says Rosen and LJ Sevin had invested in companies such as Compaq and Lotus 1-2-3, giving Rosen technology-market credibility that complemented Conway’s founder and operator network.

The source uses Seven Rosen mainly as background for the Internet Software Thesis. Rosen’s venture and analyst experience helped Conway focus on internet software and divide early deal flow across East Coast and West Coast channels.
