OUR STRATEGY

We hunt for exceptional founders & fund their outlandish visions first.

We spent the last two decades betting on founders with the vision,

intelligence, character, and execution to handle the chaos of a startup’s lifecycle.

These founders have built the world's most disruptive tech companies.

By focusing on founders first, we know how to identify and fund future unicorns

at the earliest stages—even before revenue or product!

OUR EXPERIENCE

Built by founders for founders, we are not your typical investors.

To change the world, you'll need more than just capital; you need experts to embark on this expedition with you.

That’s where we come in.

Led by former founders who built and scaled companies to thousands of people and hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, we know the journey ahead is hard. But our team is ready to roll up our sleeves to help our founders build something big.

OUR NETWORK

Deal scouts & startup advisors

OUR MISSION

Disrupt the status quo with every check.

With only 3% of venture funding going to women and minority founders and over half of US deals localized to the West Coast and Mid-Atlantic, brilliant founders who do not fit the mold are left overlooked and underfunded.

Leaving no stone unturned, we seek out startups from core and non-core tech markets to find and fund the best of the best.
