Thesis

Back ambitious, technical founders solving real business problems with software and AI. We prefer to be a meaningful part of the first capital raised and provide hands-on support as operating partners. Great companies can be built anywhere, not just tech hubs. Pre-seed is where company DNA gets formed and represents the most fun and foundational stage of a company.

Likely not a fit for

No consumer applications, non-technical founding teams, late-stage companies outside pre-seed/seed, or companies without clear material business problems. No non-US based companies (founders must be US-based or actively relocating).
