Our Approach
We’ve reimagined the role of a venture capital firm. We partner with early-stage, pioneering companies that will benefit from our thematic focus and deep industry network.
We invest early
Seed, Series A, or beyond, we prefer companies with market-ready solutions and early customer adoption.
Enabling the enablers
Our companies empower businesses to better serve their customers.
We don’t lead
We typically do not lead rounds, but we always invest with conviction.
Diligence that works for you
We engage our network (not yours) to inform our decision making.
Partnering if we can help
We only invest if our network and focus is relevant to you.
