Robert J. Majteles

Mr. Majteles founded Treehouse Capital LLC in order to make investments of time and money in interesting people doing worthy things. Treehouse’s portfolio of private and public technology companies have been very successful in a wide array of markets and circumstances. Prior to launching Treehouse, Mr. Majteles was the chief executive officer 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 merger and acquisitions attorney. Mr. Majteles is also 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.  Mr. Majteles joins these boards as part of the Treehouse investment process and, when time, circumstances, and liquidity permit (Treehouse is a personal investment vehicle), Mr. Majteles also invests, via Treehouse, in the companies in his portfolio.

The three companies Mr. Majteles led as a chief executive officer 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 chief executive officer of Citadon, Inc, a leading B2B company focused on the construction and heavy engineering marketplace.

Mr. Majteles received a law degree from Stanford University in 1989 and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Columbia University in 1986. Mr. Majteles lives with his wife, Pamela, who is a writer and a columnist, and their three children in the Bay Area of Northern California.
