🔒 $•• – $••Thesis
We partner with high-integrity, problem-obsessed, wildly interesting founders at early stage. We are long-term investors, backing founders at inception and continuing to invest until IPO. We have a single mandate: to help fledgling companies navigate the challenges of building generational businesses. Rather than being a traditional write-a-check fund, we provide full-stack partnership: capital, operational support, strategic introductions, recruiting, business development, and fundraising support.
Likely not a fit for
Consumer apps without network effects; pure hardware without software layer; copycat ideas; teams without founder integrity or coachability; markets with declining TAM or extremely long sales cycles at seed stage
