HOW WE INVEST
Two strategies. One philosophy.
We invest our own balance sheet, so we never force exits and we’re free to back the people we believe in for as long as it takes.
01
STRATEGY
We back emerging fund managers as value-added LPs.
We focus on GPs raising their first seed fund. Our ideal GP has hands-on entrepreneurial experience and can clearly articulate three things: how they will secure deal flow, how they will conduct due diligence, and how they will support entrepreneurs after investment.
We are value-added LPs. We help our GPs’ portfolio companies through our network of entrepreneurs and operators, and we open doors to a wide range of other potential LPs as our managers scale their next funds.
Deal flow
A clear, defensible answer for why high-quality entrepreneurs come to them first.
Due diligence
A disciplined, repeatable process for separating signal from noise.
Post-investment support
A concrete plan for how they will help founders after the cheque clears.
We invest our own capital, so we can be a stable, long-term LP for first-time managers we believe in.
02
STRATEGY
We invest directly into exceptional early-stage entrepreneurs.
Our aim is to be the most founder-friendly early-stage investor. Our typical first round investment is $1-2M for a meaningful equity stake, with up to $10M per company reserved for follow-on rounds. We move fast, then work very hard to support the entrepreneur for as long as they want to keep building.
$1-2M first round
Sized to give us a meaningful stake, sized to give you the runway to focus on building.
Up to $10M for follow-on rounds
Reserved for the companies that work. Capital that compounds with conviction.
No LPs, no forced exits
We invest from our own balance sheet. We’re happy to be in for whatever duration you are.
Voting rights to the founder
Many investors say they’re founder-friendly. We back it with our actions and assign our voting rights to you.
