Since being the first outside investor in OfficeMax in 1988, Blue Mesa has
played an active investment, strategic, or operating role in startup and
early-stage companies in San Francisco, LA, and Cleveland.

We were a seed or first round investor in LoungeBuddy (travel app; sold to
American Express), CardinalCommerce (authentication technology; sold to VISA),
Divergent3D (transformative manufacturing system), Capstone Partners (placement
agent for PE funds; MBO), and Twitch (formerly known as, Justin.TV; sold to
Amazon).

Our Founder and Managing Partner (Marc Morgenstern) co-founded Within3 (digital
collaboration for life sciences; sold to Insight Partners), C+T Access
Ventures (technology venture fund), CadenceCounsel (providing top-tier lawyers
on a variable basis for top-tier law firms; sold to Lateral Link), and
founded Equity Realty Securities (NASD-registered placement agent).

 

Told with humor, empathy, and insight, Marc’s thought-leading book (“The Soul of
the Deal: Creative frameworks for buying, selling, and investing in any
business”) frames unconventional transactional strategies derived from selling
encyclopedias door to door, following the Grateful Dead, and 100’s of deals.

“Powerful lessons distilled into one hell of a fun, easy, and thought-provoking
book. Marc defies stereotypes – a deadhead and a Deal head; a gifted storyteller
and a deal-maker with deep understanding of the human dynamics. His Maxims alone
are worth the price of this impactful read.”

–STEWART KOHL, Co-Founder
and Co-CEO, The Riverside Company

“Every business buyer, seller, investor, and aspiring deal maker should read
this instant classic. I loved it.”

–STEVE MCLAUGHLIN, Founder and CEO,
Financial Technology Partners, 3-time Fintech Dealmaker of the Year

“Marc knows every deal’s anatomy is similar but unique. These witty and informed
war stories and anecdotes will help any dealmaker or wannabe understand how
deals really get done and the personalities that influence them.”

–APRIL MILLER BOISE, EVP, Chief Legal Officer, Intel
