Thesis

Back outlier founders who break the rules, mold, glass, cycle, and internet — wherever they are. True generalist fund focused on pre-seed and seed across US and Canada, with emphasis on underserved markets (PNW, TX, Canada). Founder quality above all else.

Thrive Capital$500K–$50M

Thrive Capital operates with a deliberately low-profile, secretive brand and attribution-free team model while making a small number of very large, high-conviction bets and stepping in as an anchor investor during market stress. The firm combines early-stage investing with multi-billion-dollar growth rounds from the same platform while maintaining a small, elite partnership and hybrid identity as both investor and operator through company-building efforts.

Uncork Capital$1.5M–$3M

Uncork Capital is one of the original "micro-VC" firms that helped prove small, seed-focused funds could work at scale when Jeff Clavier started investing his family's savings in 2004 and raised one of the first institutional seed funds in 2007. The firm has stayed "small by design" over 20 years to preserve discipline at seed stage while being unusually hands-on without formulaic playbooks, building custom one-on-one plans for each company and refusing to pass declined founders to other VCs because they view it as a harmful negative signal.

Weekend Fund$100K–$300K
Cowboy Ventures$500K–$4M

Seed-stage investor leveraging Aileen Lee's data-driven, category-shaping framework and a Mustang Fund structure that enables concentrated follow-on support for breakout companies. Cowboy Ventures is led by Aileen Lee, who coined the term 'unicorn' and created the analytical framework that defines billion-dollar startups, giving the firm a uniquely data-driven perspective on market dynamics and category-shaping outcomes. The firm backs founders re-imagining life and work through technology, with a distinct 'Mustang Fund' structure that allows them to double down on breakout companies while keeping their primary fund focused purely on seed investments.
