Capital

What We Invest In

Our firm is focused on the opportunity to invest in, consult, advise, obtain funding, build strategic partnerships and assist with executing the business strategy of those companies we work with. Our hands-on engagement drives growth and value to those early stage start ups we bring our collective talent to.

We believe entrepreneurs pursuing big bets and scalable businesses are vital to our community's health and success. We invest in idea to growth stage companies and technologies across industries and sectors, supporting exceptional founders with a vision to go the distance.

  • Pre-Seed & Seed stage technology startups
  • Select Series A opportunities
  • Enterprise and consumer technology sectors
  • Multidisciplinary convergence opportunities
  • $250K to $3M typical investment (over life of company)
  • Capital efficient startups with recurring revenue
Stage
Seed Phase Investors

We are seed stage investors. We make our initial investment into technology startups during their "seed phase" before they have established product-market-fit. This means we invest in start-ups looking for their first funding — in some cases, their first outside money altogether. Most startups we have invested in have been pre-revenue at the time of our initial investment.

Sectors
Enterprise & Consumer Tech

We currently invest in seed stage startups in both the enterprise and consumer technology sectors. We have a particular fondness for multidisciplinary opportunities that capitalize on the convergence of multiple technologies.

Check Size
$250K – $3M

We prefer to invest in capital efficient startups and will typically invest $250K to $3M (on average) over the life of the company in which we invest.

Criteria
What We Look For

Companies should: be building an innovative, technology-enabled product, process, or service; have developed a prototype, be seeking product-market fit, or entering early growth stage; and present a well-articulated market opportunity with customer validation and a strong founding team.

How We Work

How We Work

No two startups look alike — so we don't deliver prescriptive formulas. We work with you one-on-one to develop a custom plan.

No Bullshit

We are transparent and straightforward. Sometimes that means encouraging and supporting you to keep going; sometimes that means telling you a truth that might be hard to hear, but has your best interests in mind. We'll also cheer for you and challenge you to do more when we think you have the potential.

There Is No Playbook

No two startups look alike, so we don't deliver prescriptive formulas on how to build or scale. We work with you one-on-one to develop a custom plan to help you achieve your specific goals — and we adjust together as often as necessary. We also bring resources from our network so you can talk to experts about challenges you are facing.

Building Blocks

The first 18 months of your company's life are critical. It's not just about surviving; it's about learning a lot, fast, in a hyper-competitive environment to build the infrastructure of your future business — people, product, technology, processes. Our companies have stronger foundations and fundamentals than many of their peers — giving them an unfair competitive advantage.

When It Hits the Fan

All startups — even the ones that become billion-dollar behemoths — have tough times. When things go wrong, you need a trusted partner — someone you are comfortable telling all the gory details. We won't walk away; we're here to help you work out the kinks.
