Moeller Ventures was established by Jim Moeller in March 2002. The company leverages his experience as an analyst in the investment banking business with RBC Capital Markets (formerly Dain Rauscher Wessels and Wessels, Arnold & Henderson) as well as his 10-year experience in the technology industry, where he worked with companies such as ADC Telecommunications, a wireless technology startup company named Uniplex, the ETA Systems division of Control Data Corporation and IBM. In addition, Mr. Moeller has served as a consultant and freelance analyst, designing technology for projects such as CATV video conferencing and embedded wireless applications as well as writing technology market reports for an independent research firm.
While at RBC Capital Markets and Dain Rauscher Wessels from 1997 through 2001, Mr. Moeller was the lead wireless technology analyst and studied a large number of public and private companies. During this time, he developed relationships with key industry executives. Mr. Moeller initiated coverage of the wireless semiconductor and broadband wireless sectors with insightful reports that resulted in DRW winning underwriting positions on numerous initial public offerings and secondary offerings in those segments. Mr. Moeller was the lead analyst on Aironet (a broadband wireless LAN company) that went public in July of 1999 for a valuation of $150 million and was subsequently purchased by Cisco in a sole-managed M&A transaction by DRW that closed in March of 2000 for $1.4 billion. In addition, in 1996 Mr. Moeller was a freelance technology market analyst writing reports for Datapro (acquired by the Gartner Group) on topics such as cellular and PCS wireless technology, wireless data communications and mobile computing.
At ADC Telecommunications from 1994 through 1996, Mr. Moeller was a senior project engineer with the Broadband Communications division, leading research, development and systems integration on parts of ADC’s Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) local-loop telephony and data system. In 1989, Mr. Moeller was one of the initial employees of Uniplex Corporation, a startup company in St. Paul, leading the company’s development of early wireless LAN spread spectrum digital radio technology. During his five years at Uniplex, Mr. Moeller led the design of a high-performance, direct sequence spread spectrum radio was designed and implemented for the 902-928MHz unlicensed band and was deployed in early wireless local area networking applications in the 1992 to 1993 timeframe. Additional independent consulting projects include a high frequency video modulator for CATV video conferencing as well as other embedded wireless projects for short-range data networking.
