Thanks for reading the NAV Blog. I'm Tim Rowe, a co-founder and Venture Partner with New Atlantic Ventures. I spend about a day a week directly working with NAV. The rest of the time I run Cambridge Innovation Center (www.cictr.com). CIC is a startup hotel in Cambridge, MA. We provide a roof over the heads of about 200 startups, and counting.

As with much of the NAV team, my investment interests run to consumer mass-market opportunities. One company we've invested in that I'm excited about is Lumidigm, Inc., which makes small biometric sensors that should increase the convenience of many everyday objects (cars, front doors, computers) by helping them to quickly and easily recognize users without a log-in.
