About

U&I stands for Urgent and Important because we’re relentless about focus. It’s also a play on “You and I”, building alongside founders and operators as a true community, with a seat at the same table. We’re reshaping who gets access to capital and who holds power, influence, and ownership in venture.

Investment approach

Thesis
Our thesis is to lean into AI-native cloud innovation at the earliest stages by building the world’s largest curated technical community of operators sitting in CIO, CTO, and CISO roles to do two things. 1/ Understand technology gaps and advancements within the enterprise. This informs innovation and also how markets move. 2/ Offer a direct line of communication to entrepreneurs building the future of the enterprise. We look for exceptional founders building enduring AI-native software infrastructure companies at the intersection of engineering, IT, and security to solve massive business problems.Source (opens in a new tab)
