Investing in enterprise of tomorrow, today.

"I've had the opportunity to work with Mark Fernandes and Sierra Ventures twice - first with Ooyala when he invested in us in 2008 and then again with Wizeline when he invested in 2014. With Ooyala, I was a first time founder-CEO, and everything was going great, until the financial crisis of 2008-2009 hit. But Mark remained a calm and strategic sounding board for me and the company. He helped us raise the next round and eventually was key in our selling the company to Telstra."
