 Bridgescale, a new US venture capital firm focused on expansion stage technology investments, has appointed James Joaquin, former CEO of photo sharing and printing services company Ofoto, as venture partner.
As a Macintosh programmer in the 1980's, Joaquin co-founded Clearview Software, while still a computer science student at Brown University. The applications company was later acquired by Apple's Claris division. Joaquin spent six years with Apple in engineering, product marketing and business development management roles. He co-founded and headed business development for When.com, an internet calendar and events service that was acquired by America Online.
Joaquin also led the Ofoto team from the company's early beginnings through the successful sale to the Eastman Kodak Company. He then ran Ofoto as a wholly owned subsidiary of Kodak. Most recently he served as president and CEO of money transfer service company Xoom Corporation.
'For the last 20 years, James has been plugged into some of the most innovative Silicon Valley companies,' said Matthew Cowan, general partner, Bridgescale. 'His esteemed relationships with entrepreneurs, VCs, and angel investors provide enormous differentiation for our firm.'
