MENLO PARK, Calif., May 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Mohr Davidow Ventures today announced that General Partner Bryan Stolle has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the Power Players in the Cloud.  The Power Players in the Cloud list honors the most influential people in the banking, venture capital, legal, and accounting world who support the on-demand entrepreneurs that are bringing massive technology breakthroughs to the cloud computing, cloud, and SaaS world.  People like Bryan Stolle and their firms are the infrastructure workhorses that make the Global Silicon Valley an incubator for success, creating strong companies that are building forward-thinking, indispensable products.

Bryan Stolle and the Power Players in the Cloud are being honored at AlwaysOn's OnDemand event, May 20^th – 21^st, 2013, at Hewlett-Packard's Executive Briefing Center in Palo Alto, CA.

"Behind every successful cloud infrastructure, SaaS, on-demand software, and mobile technology startup is a handful of power players guiding the founders. The Power Players in the Cloud list spans a wide range of talents, from seed investors to accountants to developers to founders to venture capitalists to legal counsel," says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "These individuals are helping emerging startups create a new digital age that goes beyond consumer, beyond business enterprise. They are bringing the next generation of technical innovation to the on-demand sector and the Global Silicon Valley."

The 2013 Power Players in the Cloud were nominated by their peers—investors, bankers, journalists, and industry insiders—and selected from among hundreds of individuals in the on-demand entrepreneurial community. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2013 list.

Mr. Stolle has been a General Partner of Mohr Davidow Ventures, a venture capital firm, since January 2008. From April 1995 to April 2006, Mr. Stolle was Chief Executive Officer of Agile Software Corporation, a publicly-traded software company he co-founded, and, from April 1995 to June 2007, he was Chairman and a member of the board of directors of Agile Software Corporation.
