We invest in pre-Series A companies (Pre-Seed and Seed). We are NOT thesis-driven in the way most VCs are. Our strategy is to invest in great founders in the earliest days of building a company and to invest broadly across industry, category, theme, trend, etc. Great founders at early stage with big ideas - that's our thesis (if we had to write it out)

Most Interested In
I invest exclusively in plant-based and alternative protein companies whose products are dramatically reducing the number of animals in the food system. I only invest in companies that are currently in the US or that plan to sell in the US in the future. I only invest in companies selling food products or ingredients. I look for founders who are deeply mission-driven and balance confidence with true humility.
Not Interested In
I am not interesting in investing in anything other than food products or ingredients.
