About
We back founders who understand their industries from the inside.
Investment approach
- Thesis
- We invest in companies built for a specific vertical industry from day one, not horizontal tools looking for use cases. We back three business models: Vertical AI (industry software with AI driving the critical workflow), Vertical Technology as a Service (AI-enabled services that take the customer's problem off their hands with software-like margins), and Vertical Deep Tech (foundational technology aimed at an industry's hardest physical problems).Source (opens in a new tab)
