Thesis

We back 'sub-0.1% of the population' type exceptional founders building fundamental, infrastructure-level technologies in critical sectors (computing, defence, energy) reshaping our world. Community-driven approach provides proprietary deal flow and deep technical credibility. Focus on first cheques in pre-seed/seed with hands-on mentorship and network access.

Likely not a fit for

No pure consumer/SaaS without fundamental technology. No entrepreneurs without hands-on technical involvement. No hype-driven categories without genuine innovation. No teams lacking obsessive long-term commitment.
