Thesis

Back technical founders building B2B software targeting markets ripe for digital transformation. Industry and technology agnostic. Invest alongside leading VCs in oversubscribed rounds and embed a full-time Support Partner to handle recruiting, finance, compliance, marketing, and ops — so founders can focus on product and customers.

Likely not a fit for

No consumer apps, no hardware-only plays, no non-US companies without US market focus.
