History[edit]
Eight Roads first started investing out of Boston in 1969,[2] operating as Fidelity Ventures and was the venture capital arm of Fidelity Investments, backing the teams behind early innovators such as MCI, Continental Cablevision and Atari.
Fidelity Ventures invested in emerging technology companies in North America and Europe. Their focus was on the go-to-market stage, where companies have products and early customer traction. Fidelity Ventures managed $1.5B in assets.[citation needed]
In 2009, the former U.S. team of Fidelity Ventures established Volition Capital in Boston, United States. The Fidelity Ventures office based in London renamed itself Fidelity Growth Partners Europe, then in 2015 once again renamed itself Eight Roads Ventures.[3]
In 2015, Fidelity Growth Partners rebranded to Eight Roads.[4]
