Investment Philosophy
Our focus has remained the same: help the daring build legendary companies, from idea to IPO and beyond.
While we invest with companies at all stages, we have always preferred to be involved at the very beginning — when the odds of success seem slim, when much is hazy, and when founders need long-term allies.
It’s here that we can help most: hiring vital management, honing product positioning, and providing a world of deeply sought connections. The earliest days of a company often set the tone for all that comes later.
We partner with very few companies. When we do, we roll up our sleeves and get to work helping on strategy, recruiting, and investor introductions.
We seek exceptional founders with unique insights focused on markets poised for large growth — more interested in what might be possible than existing products or current customers.
“We are not passive investors. We partner with very few companies. When we do, we roll up our sleeves and get to work.”
How We Work
We aim to be fast and efficient. Founders shouldn’t spend months fundraising — they should be building.
We aim to be fast and efficient with fundraising. Happy to work with SAFEs or convertible notes. Founders hear from us quickly.
We view investment as the start of a 5+ year partnership. We’ll help raise the next round and often lead the Series A. If not, we’ll help find the right partner.
We do not take board seats as a rule. We’re open to co-investment but avoid party rounds that don’t set companies up for success.
We read every pitch. If we’re interested, you’ll hear from us within 72 hours.
