Thesis

Early-stage investors backing ambitious founders building the AI-powered future from infrastructure enablement to imagination. We focus on three layers: AI Infrastructure & Developer Platforms (the enablement layer), Agentic Business Applications (the action layer), and Native AI for Human Potential (the imagination layer). Founded in 2002, we bring 20+ years of experience backing transformational companies.

Likely not a fit for

We avoid hardware-focused plays, late-stage growth investments, and founders without singular obsession. We're selective about non-AI infrastructure bets in our current funds.
