Our Thesis

Exceptional early talent is the greatest leading indicator of a company’s potential.

Since 2017 our partners have backed or founded companies with over $2B of enterprise value. We’ve taken companies from napkin sketches to thriving businesses, hired world-class talent and raised capital from top-tier investors. From these experiences, we’ve learned how to identify great talent early, allowing us to lean in well before data, revenue, and sometimes even a deck.

Investments

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