Thesis

Identify exceptional founders and unique talent combinations building contrarian, under-the-radar technology solutions. Provide hands-on support, operational guidance, and board-level involvement to early-stage Series A and B companies, primarily in Southern California. We fight for our founders and expect all investments to succeed.

Likely not a fit for

Avoid crowded sectors and 'hot' trends. Not interested in passive investors seeking portfolio diversification without active involvement. Pass on founders unwilling to accept board seats and active partnership.
