Our philosophy is straightforward: we invest in pre-seed to late seed rounds with founders who have skin in the game, are coachable, and address big markets. If we like a company, we don't wait for social proof, momentum, or KPIs - we #leadearly.

We aren't tied to a specific industry of business model, but usually invest in founding teams solving big problems, often involving complex technology.

👋 Tell Us About You!

A few words of advice to make the most out of meeting each other (and which will take you a long way even if we don't).

A few words of advice to make the most of meeting each other

  1. Bring a deck – not a business plan. Ideally, include a demo.

  1. This is early stage investment – your financial projections are mere fantasies; don’t waste time on that. We'll figure it out together.

  2. The dress code is smart casual – don’t wear shorts, but don’t come overdressed either (unless this is the only way you feel comfortable).

  3. You have 30 minutes – save at least 5 for feedback.

  4. If you book a meeting with us, please come prepared. The easiest way to prepare yourself is to read Venture Deals by Feld and Mendelson. This will prove useful to you in the long run and will save us time explaining basic stuff.
