Thesis

The best companies will be built by technical founders - engineers, researchers, and scientists who have experienced a problem viscerally and are compelled to solve it. We invest in tools, platforms, and infrastructure for technical builders, and we partner with founders to help them evolve into leaders of generational companies.

Likely not a fit for

We avoid non-technical founders, consumer social apps, lifestyle products, and incremental improvements to existing markets. We pass on founders without clear long-term vision or those unable to build strong founding teams.
