Thesis

We invest $250K+ into 'irrationally intense' founder CEOs and their teams. We believe early-stage companies need more than capital—they need operational mentorship, people operations expertise, and founder coaching. We provide comprehensive CEO feedback through a proprietary CEO 360 process, on-demand office hours, and real-time support via Slack and WhatsApp DMs.

Likely not a fit for

Founders resistant to feedback or coaching, teams with poor hiring discipline, non-founder-CEO structures, speculative or hype-driven narratives without customer validation
