What we back.

How we partner with founders.

Our team has built, led, and invested in companies. We sit on the founder’s side of the table because we’ve been there. We run a concentrated portfolio so every founder gets real time from real partners. We stay engaged past the first check, through the inflection where companies either compound or stall.
