Robert J. Majteles, Advisor

Robert J. Majteles founded Treehouse Capital in order to make investments of time and money in interesting people doing worthy things. Treehouse’s portfolio of private and public technology companies includes Digital Chocolate, RazorGator, Rovi and US Autoparts, among others. Prior to launching Treehouse, Mr. Majteles was CEO of three different technology companies, succeeding twice in generating superior investment returns for his shareholders and failing once. In addition, Mr. Majteles has also been an investment banker and a mergers and acquisitions attorney. Mr. Majteles is currently a Lecturer at the Haas School of Business and the Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of California, Berkeley.

Mr. Majteles has served, and continues to serve, as an active and involved board member in a number of publicly-traded and privately-held companies. Typically, Mr. Majteles is invited to join a company’s board of directors in order to embrace and extend a management team that is facing the challenges and transitions associated with needing to redefine or sharpen their strategic opportunities and/or to scale their operations.

The three companies Mr. Majteles led as CEO were all high capacity technology companies in need of rejuvenation and repair. Mr. Majteles was the leader of executive teams that saved CAMAX Systems, Inc (a privately-held developer of mechanical CAD/CAM software) and ULTRADATA Corporation (a publicly-traded developer of banking software) from near ruin and both companies were ultimately sold to great shareholder benefit to larger, strategic buyers. Mr. Majteles was also the CEO of Citadon, Inc, a leading B2B company focused on the construction and heavy engineering marketplace.

Mr. Majteles received a law degree from Stanford University and a BA from Columbia University.
