THESIS
Grit over traction
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.
