One of Silicon Valley’s Best New Angel Investors Steps Out of the Shadows

Steve Anderson has been a number of things in his 42 years: a Stanford MBA, a general manager at Starbucks Coffee, a product manager at eBay, a partner at Kleiner Perkins, a senior director at Microsoft. Right now, he’s one of the best angel investors in Silicon Valley. Anderson began investing a pool of individual investors’ money in 2006 under the name Baseline Ventures. Since then, he has provided seed funding to 40 companies, a stunning 8 of which have been acquired. This morning, DocVerse, whose software invites users to collaborate on Microsoft Office documents and that had raised just $1.3 million, was acquired by Google for a cool $25 million.
