Each founding partner earned a rule the hard way. Together, the rules are the fund.
“Unicorns are mythical. Product-market fit is real.”
We are not fans of “IPO or bust.” We love billion-dollar ideas as much as the next firm — but we focus on building must-have products for sizeable markets.
“Technology is sexy. Its application is sexier.”
We seek startups transforming traditional industries through technology — because solving real business problems outlasts today's hot tech trend.
“Mega funding brings headlines. It also brings side-effects.”
We prefer capital-efficient paths to product-market fit — because those paths lead to great outcomes for entrepreneurs and their supporters alike.
“Entrepreneurs come in all shapes and ages.”
We are entrepreneurs ourselves — of all shapes and ages — looking to coach and fund young-at-heart, passionate founders disrupting traditional businesses.
Invest in and mentor capital-efficient startups that digitally disrupt traditional businesses.
Technology keeps producing new tools; established industries keep producing real problems. We back founders who connect the two — with clear revenue models, disciplined burn, and openness to great outcomes of every size. And because our partners have operated on both sides of an acquisition, mentorship comes with the money: customers, follow-on investors, builders, and honest counsel.
