On-Line Ventures is an “Angel” Investment and Development Company that focuses on investing in, and providing services to, emerging stage information technology companies that utilize on-line technologies in their business models.  We have helped develop dozens of successful companies including completing dozens of IPO’s and successful mergers and acquisitions for our companies and investors. Typically, we invest at the emerging stage of a company when the company is on the verge of experiencing explosive growth.   We also like to work with pre IPO or exit transaction stage opportunities.  We rarely act as the lead investor, but rather prefer to work closely with leading venture and other private equity firms.

Our services to our companies and their private equity investors include corporate governance, executive mentoring, business development, recruiting, and advisory and consulting services all uniquely tailored to the needs of the company.  

Since its founding by Stephen J. Getsy in 1993, On-Line Ventures has established a very successful track record in the following segments of the information technology industry: network/telecommunications, internet infrastructure, financial services, outsourcing, marketing services, international services and e commerce.
