 PROFILE
You won't see Matrix Partners working behind the scenes of the New Economy, but it's there. Founded in 1977, the VC firm primarily funds startups in the Internet infrastructure, IT, and telecommunications markets. Matrix likes to get in on the ground floor of a new business, and the firm has enjoyed success even during the Tech Wreck because it stayed away from dot-coms. Its investments have included Argon Networks (bought by Siemens AG), Cascade Communications (bought by Ascend Communications, now part of Lucent), and Tivoli Systems (now a subsidiary of IBM), among others. Matrix has offices in the high-tech hotbeds of California and Massachusetts. It closed its seventh fund in mid-2001 at $1 billion.
