NVCA Honors Arthur Rock with Lifetime Achievement Award; Recognizes Steve Fredrick for Outstanding Service in Creation of StartUpHire.com
Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) April 25, 2012
Before an audience of hundreds of members, the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) honored two of their own with awards at their annual meeting in Santa Clara, California. Silicon Valley pioneer Arthur Rock received the Lifetime Achievement in Venture Capital award and Steve Fredrick, founder of StartupHire.com, was recognized as the recipient of the Outstanding Service Award. In their commitment to entrepreneurship and innovation, both gentlemen have made significant contributions to the venture capital community, the startup ecosystem, and U.S economy.
Lifetime Achievement in Venture Capital Award
The Lifetime Achievement in Venture Capital Award was established in 1998 to recognize venture professionals who have dedicated their lives to creating and building successful and highly competitive venture firms as well as portfolio companies that have made a significant contribution to the growth and success of the U.S. economy. Recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award were instrumental in the formation and growth of the venture industry and have consistently set high performance standards for the entire asset class. This year, the NVCA honored Arthur Rock for his legacy in founding, funding and nurturing many of America’s most innovative companies.
Arthur Rock’s career as a venture capitalist spans five decades during which time he helped establish the Silicon Valley as America’s epicenter of entrepreneurship and innovation. From helping to re-locate eight scientists from Shockley Labs to form Fairchild Semiconductor to raising money to fund companies such as Intel, Apple, Scientific Data Corporation and Teledyne, Mr. Rock been involved in some of the high tech industry’s most notable success stories. As a partner in Davis & Rock from 1961 to 1968 and currently a partner at Arthur Rock & Company, he is considered to be one of the founding fathers of venture capital.
In addition to his business ventures, he founded the Arthur Rock Center for Entrepreneurship at the Harvard Business School, and with his wife, Toni, founded the Arthur & Toni Rembe Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University. Mr. Rock is co-founder and president emeritus of The Basic Fund which gives scholarships to inner city children to attend K-8 private schools. He is also on the board of Teach for America and Children’s Scholarship Fund and an active funder of KIPP.
“There are few individuals who have dedicated as much of their lives to funding innovation as Arthur Rock,” said Paul Maeder, NVCA Board chair. “His long, decorated career has improved the lives of countless people – from the millions of Americans who have benefitted from the technologies he has backed to the young scholarship recipients who’ve earned the chance to expand their educational opportunities because of his foundation. His footprint is remarkable and his legacy will endure for centuries to come.”
Outstanding Service Award
The Outstanding Service Award was established in 1999 to recognize the exceptional service of an NVCA member who has committed an extraordinary amount of time, resources and dedication to Association efforts that, in turn, benefit the entire venture industry. Their dedication has raised the visibility of the industry to key legislators and regulators and helped to educate them regarding the pivotal role of venture capital plays in this country. This year the NVCA honors Steve Fredrick, general partner of Grotech Ventures for creating StartUpHire (http://www.startuphire.com), the online job board dedicated to recruiting talent to venture capital-backed companies.
Mr. Fredrick’s efforts originated in 2007 with a series of discussions amongst investors, startup executives, and newly hired employees. Company executives lamented that their job postings often got lost in the noise of big job boards while venture investors longed for a way to list portfolio job openings on their firm website while gaining insight into portfolio hiring needs beyond the executive level.
Armed with a vision of a single online platform where venture-backed companies could post and track jobs at all levels of their portfolio, Mr. Fredrick secured funding from the National Science Foundation and support from other stakeholders including the NVCA to establish StartUpHire.com With a singular mission to bring visibility to jobs at venture-backed startups, the result has been a remarkable success with more than14,000 jobs posted each month and more than 100,000 registered users. Through StartUpHire.com, some of the most rewarding jobs and the most exciting venture-backed companies are now accessible to millions of Americans.
“StartUpHire has proven to be an invaluable resource not just to job seekers and young companies, but to the venture capital industry as well,” said Mark Heesen, president of NVCA. “Since the site’s inception, StartUpHire.com has been an excellent provider of jobs data helping to demonstrate the contribution of venture-backed companies to the U.S. economy. Steve’s commitment to establishing and growing this unique platform has highlighted one of the most critical and powerful truths about the venture capital industry which is that, together with entrepreneurs, we create jobs for Americans. This is a story that has come to life in large part because of Steve’s commitment and passion for making StartUpHire a success.”
As a general partner at Grotech Ventures, Mr. Fredrick leads investments in the enterprise software, security, and mobile sectors. He is active on several portfolio company boards including LogiXML, Invincea, Omnilink Systems, and TRAFFIQ. His career spans engineering roles, entrepreneurial company building, and early stage investing. Prior to Grotech, Steve was a general partner with Novak Biddle Venture Partners. He began his career in research and development with IBM, and then joined a venture-funded software company in the document imaging space called Vantage Solutions, which was acquired in 1994.

Cymphonix Announces New Leadership
Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) April 13, 2012
Leading the charge to deliver best-of-service Internet Management solutions, Cymphonix Corporation announced today a change in leadership as the company’s founders take on the positions of CEO, COO and Board Member. Joe Lowry and Trevor Paskett now lead the company as CEO and COO respectively, while Kevin Santiago assumes a seat on the Cymphonix board of directors.
With the move, Cymphonix looks to redouble their efforts in the SMB and Gov/Ed Internet Management markets. “For SMBs, the Internet is as much a highly valued operational asset as it is for enterprise organizations,” stated Trevor Paskett, Cymphonix COO. “We’re making key strategic moves to better help these organizations get a handle on their Internet traffic and we’re going to make it extremely cost efficient for them to do it. The time has arrived for SMBs and schools to get complete Internet Management for the cost of content filtering.”
Small and medium sized businesses, as well as government and educational organizations, have not been immune to rapidly increasing demands on their Internet connections. Like their enterprise peers, these organizations are also making significant investments in the Cloud and SaaS. They’re also experiencing the same pains related to recreational Internet usage, the consumerization of IT, consumer Cloud and persistent connections, and how to efficiently manage these impacts on their networks. As these challenges have trended up strongly over the past 18 months, Cymphonix has received numerous requests for an SMB-level Internet Management solution. The new leadership team has been tasked with rapidly delivering an option for these organizations.
“We’re ready to roll,” Joe Lowry, Cymphonix CEO, said. “We’re on the verge of deploying a couple of big developments that will significantly and positively affect small and medium sized businesses as well as educational and government entities. While some of our competitors seem to be shying away from these organizations, either in terms of lack of innovation or outright abandonment of the market, we see a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do some real good. We’re revved up to help out these organizations by giving them enterprise-level offerings with affordable entry points. We can’t wait to tell these customers, ‘If you’ve got budget for a content filter, now you’ve got the budget for full Internet Management as well’.”
SMBs and Gov/Ed institutions interested in getting a preview of the upcoming offerings from Cymphonix are encouraged to contact Cymphonix directly at sales(at)cymphonix(dot)com.
About Cymphonix
Cymphonix helps organizations get complete clarity into, and full control over, all their Internet traffic. As demand for content grows exponentially, network administrators’ ability to control and filter content, prioritize traffic and applications, and manage bandwidth is taxed to the extreme. Too often, they must resolve incidences and usage issues by cobbling together information from scattered locations and products. The result? Time and cost-intensive forensics and policy-setting that’s rarely based on a true understanding of the who, what, when, and where associated with the content and traffic flowing over their Internet connection. Cymphonix’s line of network appliances is a single source solution that allows network administrators to quickly, easily and clearly understand down to the minutest detail what’s happening on their connection at any given time, and then easily set and enforce policies across their network. Consequently, they spend less time on incidence response, forensics, and policy enforcement while gaining full control over content, applications, traffic, and bandwidth.
