Thesis

Reshape venture capital by operating as true partners to founders. We seek founders with clarity of thought, a deep chip on their shoulder, and obsessive focus on solving problems they can't unsee. We provide not just capital but hands-on partnership, strategic guidance, and operator networks to guide breakthrough companies through product-market fit.
