What is the relationship between Morgenthaler Ventures and Canvas Ventures?

Canvas Ventures was formed in 2013 by certain members of the Morgenthaler IT team. The two firms are separate and distinct entities, and Canvas is not an affiliate of Morgenthaler. Canvas actively invests in early-stage technology companies; Morgenthaler continues to manage its legacy portfolio.

How large is Morgenthaler Ventures today?

The firm does not disclose current assets under management or deployment figures. Without new fund-raising activity since the 2013 spinout, it operates as a legacy manager with a small team overseeing tail-end portfolio holdings.
