Most Interested In
Seeking founders solving large, urgent and valuable problems that are radically cheaper (90%+) or better (10x) than the status quo. I'm looking to back ambitious founders, who run through walls and who aspire to build one of the most important companies of the decade. The best products are hard to copy, have an accumulating advantage, a unique distribution mechanism, and deliver jaw dropping value that blows customers away.
Not Interested In
Consumer products, DTC, pre-revenue companies.
