Thesis

The founder is the wedge—category comes after. We invest at the event horizon, in what's very early and unexpected. Uncommon people, ideas, and technologies where new markets and movements are on the brink of inevitable. We move fast, write lead checks, and stay out of founders' way.

Likely not a fit for

No late-stage companies, no consensus bets, no obvious or buttoned-up plays. Not thematic—avoids pre-defined category mandates.

Similar firms

Morpheus Ventures$1M–$10M

LA-based investor making ~80% of investments outside Silicon Valley, focusing on disruptive tech in under-covered markets and offering hands-on crisis support from former CEOs, operators, and legal specialists. Manages over $300M and positions itself as "professional fixers" for founders dealing with complex crises like hostile competitors, IP theft, and regulatory battles.

Alumni Ventures$250K–$5M

Alumni Ventures built a "network-powered" retail VC platform that aggregates thousands of accredited individuals into professionally managed funds, allowing people to write checks as low as ~$10k while accessing large, diversified venture portfolios—making it America's largest VC firm for individual investors. The firm runs a deliberately non-controlling, co-investor-only strategy where it does not lead rounds, set terms, or take board seats, instead slotting into rounds alongside elite firms like Sequoia and Bessemer while treating its 750k+ subscriber base and ~1,400+ venture-backed founders as a scaled operating asset through structured CEO Services.

Impact Venture Capital$250K–$1M

Early-stage, globally focused investor that partners with corporate venture groups, targets Telecom, Media, Civic Tech, Cybersecurity, FinTech, and Data Analytics. Runs Entrepreneur's Showcase programs to accelerate founders addressing global challenges.
