About

We look similar, but we're fundamentally different from other venture funds. We've built our own businesses. We're investing our own money. We're not limited in what we can do.

We invest in people, not ideas. We seek founders who are passionate about building generationally great companies.

We focus on fast-growth tech companies

...but we’re infinitely inquisitive

Our depth of experience and lack of constraint are powerful when it comes to working with great founders.

Our experience lends itself to founders of technology start-ups who are building growing businesses and who value our capital and experience. We look for growth equity positions, where we’re all on the same side of the table. Because we've been there before, we’re interested in simple capital tables with aligned, participating shareholders. Our best experiences have been when we're the only shareholder, and when we invested at inception.

We don’t have a fund horizon or limitations. This lets us play the long-game for the truly outstanding companies. Our view is that it's your company and we'll do what we can to help you succeed. We're happy to buy founder or secondary shares where it makes sense.

Fundamentally, what matters to us is that we back high-integrity founders to build world-class businesses.
