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)
