About

A venture fund that started as backyard barbecues. We write first checks and back founders from day one.

Investment approach

Thesis: We write first checks. We back founders before anyone else will. We show up at the BBQ, the pitch, and the hard moments in between.Source (opens in a new tab)
Investing status notes: We back founders from day one. If you're raising your first round and want a partner who shows up — at the BBQ and beyond — we'd love to hear from you.
