Prospective Investor

Three Principles

Post-Seed Rounds

We invest in companies with proven market/product/team fit. Our deals have a signed term-sheet by VC.

Individual Choice

Each investor makes his or her investment decision, including passing on a deal they don't feel comfortable with.

Distributed Risk

We pull resources to distribute risk and have one cap entry, which allows for flexibility within the group without impacting the company we invest it.
