Investment approach
- Thesis
- We invest in undervalued founders, markets, geographies, and industries. We actively seek out entrepreneurs who have developed disruptive solutions and competitive advantages with early signs of traction and user adoption. We prioritize traction and merit over all other things. In terms of founders – it doesn’t matter where you went to school, where you worked, who you know in our network, or what you look like. It only matters what you’ve built, how it’s progressed, and whether we can help you succeed.Source (opens in a new tab)
- Ownership target
- We typically make an initial investment of $150K to $200K in exchange for 3% to 6% equity.
- Eligibility
- We require U.S. C-Corps or similar entities.
- Traction requirement
- We look for signs of early traction, where our capital, network and resources can supercharge growth.
- Investing status notes
- We are very active Pre-Seed & Seed stage investors, and we are typically the first outside capital to invest.
