For founders  ·  Seed stage · pre-seed to Series A/B

Building in a traditional industry? We'd love to hear it.

Capital plus the things capital can't buy: customers, follow-on investors, builders, and partners who've sat in your seat.

What we look for.
What you get back.

Our sweet spot

  • Young-at-heart, hungry entrepreneurs who are open to coaching.
  • Disruptive technology applied to established businesses and verticals.
  • Clear revenue models — we're unapologetic fans.
  • Capital-efficient paths to product-market fit.
  • Open to successful M&A — great outcomes come in many sizes.

What we give entrepreneurs

  • Customers. Accelerated business development and sales through the partners' networks in your target verticals.
  • Investors. Access to follow-on funding through strong venture and private-equity connections, plus guidance on the fundraising process.
  • Builders. Co-founders, technology experts, global software, hardware, and manufacturing partners.
  • Business resources. Entrepreneur-friendly counsel, patent attorneys, and financial and M&A advisors — with help negotiating their structures and fees.

How pitching us works.

01

Send it

A deck, a demo, or just the idea — with a note on why your path is capital-efficient. Warm intros help but aren't required.

02

A partner reads it

Every pitch is read by a founding partner — operators who've built and sold in industries like yours.

03

We talk

If there's a fit, you'll meet the partners and relevant mentors from our bench — people who can move your business, not just fund it.

The mentor bench.

Operators and domain experts across our sectors, now hosted directly in the site.
