PROFILE |
 |
Comdisco Ventures aimed to help high-tech startups get down with their funky, high-tech selves, but just as the disco era ended, so too has the dot-com rage. The venture capital arm of Comdisco, founded in 1987, invested in communications, hardware, Internet, networking, and other startups, offering traditional equity debt, as well as venture leases, through which the firm obtained stakes in new companies through equipment leases. These leases provided startups with needed equipment, facilities, and other necessities. It invested about $3 billion in some 800 companies before the Tech Wreck; Comdisco's IPO plans for the unit fell through, it halted new investments in early 2001, cut its staff, and began winding down.
