Thesis

Back founders building iconic companies that transcend boundaries. We invest directly in their growth to make them unbreakable. Founded on principle that luck isn't made, it's engineered. Founders are our customer, not LPs. We always vote shares with founders and provide 1% non-dilutive founder development capital alongside every first check.

Likely not a fit for

Non-technical teams in enterprise/infrastructure. Passive investor model. Investments made without conviction in space or team.
