Thesis

We invest in founders with deep technical expertise and a specific vision of the future. As former founders and company builders ourselves, we provide not just capital but steady partnership through early stages. We are contrarians who invest with conviction.

Likely not a fit for

Not interested in founders without technical depth, unclear vision, or limited company-building experience.
