SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Wednesday, November 12th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Chuck Hansen, Managing Partner of Hansen Investment Holdings, LLC has joined the Investment Board of Moneta Ventures LLP.
Headquartered in Folsom, California, Moneta Ventures is a venture capital firm that invests in early stage companies with a focus on software and cloud services, IT services, internet and consumer services sectors.
Moneta Ventures invests between $50,000 and $2 million per investment with companies typically having annual revenues between $1 million and $5 million. While not restricted geographically, many of its funded companies are located in underserved markets on the U.S. West Coast.
“I’m delighted to join such an esteemed group of advisors at Moneta Ventures led by the highly talented and charismatic Lokesh Sikaria,” states Chuck Hansen, Hansen Investment Holdings. “While I knew of Lokesh’s previous success as Founder & CEO of Sparta Consulting, I first heard about his fund when our daughters talked about it at middle school.
