seed and early stage venture capital investment firm based in the Greater Washington region

Investment approach

Thesis
We are highly focused on founders and investments that will make a difference and we roll up our sleeves and approach investing the way that all venture capitalists used to: we are in the trenches with our founders, and value clarity of purpose, thought and ambition. And more than a little bit of humor!Source (opens in a new tab)
