We don't just invest in founders, we invest in teams
Our Statement
Venture capital investing is like sailing off to cross the ocean, not knowing if there is land on the other side while building the boat on the way.
Our approach to venture capital investing requires a deep understanding of the founder, the market, the technology and every other aspect of the business.
We strive to minimize that risk by understanding what the start-up team can bring and what we can add to increase the chance of success.
Post-investment, we leverage our extensive network to drive asymmetric value and support global expansion for portfolio companies.
What we are looking for
01/
Investing Approach
- Thesis-led and anchored by data: We start with a clear thesis and update quickly as evidence changes.
- Rapid insights with clear conviction: We map risks early, run targeted diligence, and make decisions with founder time in mind.
- Hands-on post-investment: We set clear milestones, help de-risk the next proof points, and offer proactive support with honest feedback.
We understand each company and market is different.
02/
Individual & Personal Partnership
- Transparent approach: We are explicit about our expectations without the hem and haw. Proof points and metrics will be discussed and defined clearly.
- Multi-year horizon: We're here for the long haul, focused on sustainable growth rather than quarterly pressures or premature exits.
- Proactive support: We flag risks and work through them with you. Anywhere from financing, staffing, to supply chain issues.
Your challenges are unique to you, and so is our approach to solving them.
