Business Representative Needed: Great Investment Offers

[Jerusalem Venture Partners]

Dear Sir/Madam

JVP is an investor that truly understands the needs of an early-stage 
startup. They have been supportive of Cogent as our business has matured, 
helping to develop our international strategy, guiding us through eight 
acquisitions and our entrance into the public equity market. JVP’s rare 
combination of skills, including expertise in finance, technology and 
marketing, has been critical to Cogent’s continued success and created value 
for all of Cogent’s stakeholders

Ten years ago, an Israeli businessman(Mr Erel Margalit.) launched a 
venture-capital firm dedicated to investing in technology start-ups in his 
homeland. Since then, Mr. Margalit has witnessed the rise and collapse of 
Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking, a multibillion deal at the height of the 
technology boom and the subsequent burst of the Nasdaq bubble. Despite the 
turmoil, Jerusalem Venture Partners (www.jvpvc.com) has managed to grow. It 
now manages $670 million in assets with interests spread out across the 
U.S., Europe and Asia, after starting out with a $20 million fund a decade 
ago.

When Mr. Margalit decided to move into venture capital in 1993, he had been 
working with the Jerusalem mayor's office to bring major multinational 
technology companies to the country.

"I saw the next big thing was going to be not just bringing the Digitals and 
the IBMs and the Motorolas of the world to Israel, but actually people that 
will come out of those multinational companies or some other companies to 
start a new start-up company," says Mr. Margalit, who holds a philosophy 
degree from Columbia University. "It was very clear at the time that what 
was lacking was both capital and sort of international business guidance."

JVP, along with a handful of other firms, was among the first venture funds 
to focus on early-stage companies in Israel, which has produced technology 
companies such as security-software maker Check Point Software Technologies 
Ltd. and voice-mail company Comverse Technology Inc.

Among JVP's biggest winners: Chromatis Networks, a fiber-optic company sold 
to Lucent Technologies Inc. for roughly $4.5 billion in 2000; and Precise 
Software Solutions Inc., a Nasdaq-traded company sold to Veritas Software 
Corp. earlier this year for $609 million. JVP now maintains offices in New 
York, London, Jerusalem and Tokyo. Its portfolio currently consists of about 
two dozen companies, with a focus on enterprise software and networking, 
semiconductors and mobile communications.

JVP is a leading Israeli venture capital firm focusing on investments in 
early stage companies in the enterprise software & networking, 
semiconductors & components and communications & mobile infrastructure 
sectors. With over $680 million under management, and investment offices in 
Jerusalem, New York and London and business development offices in Tokyo and 
Beijing, JVP leverages its international presence, vast expertise and 
substantial capital base to build companies with the potential to shape and 
dominate global markets
