Thesis

Data, cloud, and hardware advances will create unprecedented opportunities for great companies to be built. We invest in founders with big ideas and deep tech who are building infrastructure and value chains around data. Great people are the key to company success. We provide operational expertise, strategic guidance, and access to networks of mentors and international partners, particularly in China and Asia-Pacific.

Likely not a fit for

Not interested in late-stage capital efficiency plays without founder excellence. Pass on commodity B2B software without clear data advantage. Avoid founders without domain expertise or proven execution track record.
