Woodside Fund

Vincent Occhipinti and Robert Larson served as managing directors and primary investment decision-makers throughout the firm's active investment period. The partnership operated with a flat governance structure, allowing both principals to approve investments without broader committee review. The firm did not publicly disclose succession plans or additional general partners in later fund vintages.

The firm's most notable realized exits include NetLogic Microsystems, a semiconductor company acquired by Broadcom for $3.7 billion in 2011, and Silicon Spice, a communications chipmaker acquired by Broadcom for $1.2 billion in 2000. Both companies operated in the networking silicon and infrastructure semiconductor sector that Woodside Fund targeted consistently across multiple fund vintages.

There is no public record of Woodside Fund raising a new fund or making new investments since the early 2000s. The firm's website remains registered, but it has not publicly announced recent fund closes, new portfolio additions, or active investment activity. The last publicly verifiable portfolio event was the NetLogic Microsystems exit in 2011.

Woodside Fund focused primarily on seed and Series A investments, typically leading or co-leading rounds with initial check sizes calibrated for early-stage enterprise technology companies. The firm maintained board representation in portfolio companies and preferred concentrated portfolios over the spray-and-pray model that emerged in later venture capital eras.

The firm's deal flow came predominantly through relationships with founders and executives in the early Silicon Valley semiconductor and enterprise infrastructure ecosystem, including connections to alumni networks from Sun Microsystems, Cisco Systems, and other foundational tech employers of the 1980s and 1990s. This network-based sourcing model predated the formalized venture capital marketing and platform functions that became standard practice in the 2010s.
