About

A genuine investment partner with deep expertise in customer acquisition and marketing

Thesis: B2B/B2C software firms with $2-50M+ in recurring revenue growing 75-200%+ per year that have outstanding client retention metrics (GDR, NRR). Most of our investments are companies located throughout North America. When it’s possible, we like to invest in companies that are having a positive impact on people and/or the planet. On occasion, we consider investments in very early-stage (even pre-revenue) companies if the company has an existing sales pipeline over $50M. In addition to participating in priced equity rounds and notes/SAFEs, we at times invest into a company through the purchase of shares directly from one or more existing shareholders.Source (opens in a new tab)
