H. DuBose Montgomery

DuBose was a founder of Menlo Ventures in 1976 and, for almost 40 years, led many of Menlo’s investments in the medical and information technology sectors. His prior investments include: Asthmatx, acquired by Boston Scientific (BSX); EndoVascular Technologies, acquired by Johnson & Johnson (JNJ); Entone Technologies, acquired by Amino Technologies (AMO); Frame Technology Corporation, acquired by Adobe Systems (ADBE); Freightquote, acquired by C.H. Robinson (CHRW), Gilead Sciences (GILD); Infoseek Corporation, acquired by the Walt Disney Co. (DIS); LSI Logic Corporation(LSI), acquired by Broadcom (AVGO); Valid Logic Systems, acquired by Cadence Design Systems (CDNS) and VNUS Medical Technologies (VNUS), acquired by Covidien (COV).

DuBose is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (bachelor of science in electrical engineering, master of science in electrical engineering; bachelor of science in management science) and the Harvard University Graduate School of Business Administration (MBA with distinction). He previously served as a trustee of the MIT Corporation and on the MIT Visiting Committees for the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and for Sponsored Research. He also served as vice chairman of the Menlo School Board of Trustees in Atherton.

DuBose founded Menlo Ventures when he was 27 years old. He grew up in a small rural town in South Carolina and somehow found his way to Boston to go to school at MIT and HBS. Prior to founding Menlo, he also did research at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, NJ, and so a favorite book of his is The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation. He is an inventor on two issued patents and has been published in the Proceedings of the IEEE.

DuBose helped found four successful startups from their initial idea concepts, incorporating them and providing the only investment in their seed-stage financing. Their subsequent combined market value exceeds $100 billion.
