“PurpleSky invested in TouchPal along with other venture capital as we recognized the superior scalability of the product on a global basis. Otherwise, this is a case where we haven’t needed to get actively involved with their business because it’s clear they have a brilliant team overseeing a highly successful and cleverly designed product. While PurpleSky prides itself on the support we offer our portfolio companies, we also know when to keep a distance and let our companies flourish.”
