Investment approach
- Thesis
- We invest when a company has found its product-market fit and is ready to scale. Software, hardware and services companies should have deployed a version of their solution to early adopters and should be able to demonstrate an understanding of their sales process and the market’s willingness to pay. Life sciences companies should have generated data that validate the efficacy of their solution, and should understand their development costs, regulatory pathway and potential partners.Source (opens in a new tab)
- Reserves policy
- In most cases, we expect that the company will require additional investment in the coming years, and we therefore reserve sufficient capital to participate in the follow-on rounds of our best-performing portfolio companies.
- Eligibility
