Investment focus

Our multi-strategy approach enables us to identify key value drivers, strategies, and operations

We typically look to invest as early as possible so that we can make the best positive impact. All our investments are pre-seed, seed, or series A. The seed stage is the most important time for a start-up and often, where you need the most support.

This key stage is where we believe we can add the most value — whether it’s helping you with finding product market fit, building your company culture, or getting your next financing round.
