Our informational edge
The hands-on nature of our venture partnerships means that we have a far deeper understanding of the companies and founders that we invest in than traditional VC firms. Given that we work alongside founders in the trenches, we essentially invest with the informational edge of a co-founder.

Invest at the ground floor
We make investments at the pre-seed, seed and Series A stages, with capital concentrated at the Series A stage in companies that we have the highest conviction in. Our investment model provides access to early stage companies that are otherwise unavailable to invest in, with appropriate levels of diversification.
