As a comment, the article is mainly fluff added by an WP:SPA. However, it's a big venture firm that's certainly notable. Improvement in the form of encyclopedic tone and sourced content would be very welcome. I've deleted a couple sentences that are identical to a press release, and also unencyclopedic. The entire article is suspicious in that regard. Thanks, Wikidemon ( talk) 17:58, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't want to violate any Wikipedia editing restrictions, so I'm submitting this request. Norwest changed its logo. The font changed, and it no longer includes the "Venture Partners" tagline. Please see here for the new logo. Can someone upload it and replace it in the article? LBTWest ( talk) 00:01, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

1) Please update the last sentence of the first paragraph with the following.
− | The firm has funded more than | + | The firm has funded more than 700 companies since inception.

2) Please change the $12.5 billion total assets in the infobox to $15.5 billion, per this source.

3) Please add this sentence and its source to the end of the history section:
4) Please add Avetta and Vuori to the notable investments section. Here's the text with sources.
