Investment approach
- Thesis
- Innovation happens in unexpected places. Some of the best ideas for solving real-world problems happen outside of Silicon Valley, and founders in these places deserve mentorship and funding as much as anyone anywhere. Neal looks for early-stage companies and founders that show passion, perseverance, and personality. Passion brings the life and energy required to drive innovation. Perseverance keeps the company going against all obstacles. Personality provides the special spark that makes a company and its founders different.Source (opens in a new tab)
