How We Invest

We invest pre-seed through Series B in founders who:

  • Are magnets for top-tier talent
  • Have the clear, pragmatic vision needed to build a world-changing company, and
  • Are a ton of fun to be around
Investments

We blend the network of a top-tier fund with the value-add of your most impactful angel.

We tailor founder support to optimize for impact. We can be high touch, high energy, or write a check and get out of the way.
