1. Applications solving large and non-obvious problems in data-intensive industries 2. ML-driven applications that have found a path to an initial data advantage and have the potential to create a definitive intelligence advantage 3. Business operations platforms for SMB vendors who have never had a good one, esp that are driven by mobile, esp that drive payment flow 4.

We're interested in teams re-imagining cities in 3 areas - GHG reduction, climate adaptation and solving problems associated with high density (like traffic or public safety). Cities are complex, so founders continue inspire and amaze us by identifying new systemic issues and solutions. If you're re-imagining city life, we'd love to hear from you.

Not Interested In

We don't invest in edtech or healthtech. Certainly not a vote on whether we want to see these categories succeed, we just think they need additional focus/skills which we don't have. That said public health is a growing area of interesting.

Shaun Abrahamson is a Founder and serves as Managing Partner at Urban Us. Shaun is a Member of the Investment Committee, and he leads investment selection and communications with portfolio companies, members of the Network, and limited partners in Fund II. Before founding Fund I, Shaun was an active angel investor, investing in more than 20 firms between 2007 and 2013 in his personal capacity.

Crowdstorm, published by Wiley, was his first book and is a guide to working with large online crowds to find and evaluate ideas.
