Operates a Sage model where CEOs and serial founders embed as hands-on operators, sometimes interim leaders, hatch and prototype startups internally, and bring hundreds of millions in follow-on capital. The firm also hatches new companies internally by having partners identify opportunities, do research and prototyping, then match concepts with founders—functioning partially like a startup studio while running a traditional venture fund.
Pre-seed and seed investor run by three active founders (from Cityblock Health, Tribe AI, and Angi), placing top women operators on cap tables to provide hands-on marketing, revenue, ops, product and engineering support without dilution.
