Thesis

Transform financial services by increasing the ubiquity, movement, and security of capital. We partner with diverse founders building innovative solutions that expand access to capital, reduce friction in capital flows, and strengthen financial system confidence. We believe financial services is the most significant contributor to economic transformation and key to creating a more prosperous society for all.

Likely not a fit for

Not interested in non-fintech solutions. Pass on consumer apps without financial infrastructure angle. Avoid teams without clear understanding of financial services pain points. Not suited for founders not committed to inclusive economic participation.
