Thesis

World-class technology companies can be built anywhere. Greatness is in our backyard. We invest in market-defining companies across the Driveway region (Hudson River to Rocky Mountains), partnering with founders from idea to IPO. Build where your talent is. Build where your customers are. Build where you're strongest.

Likely not a fit for

Location-dependent thinking. Single-geography focus. Unwillingness to support founders through downturns.
