Thesis

We invest in underdigitized verticals — backing founders with deep industry experience who are building digital solutions for analog industries. Focus on Vertical AI, Recommerce, and Marketplace models in the physical economy. Operator-first: all three founding partners are former founders.

Consumer-focused propositions, highly digitized industries (no fintech incumbents or SaaS-for-SaaS), founding teams without relevant domain expertise.
