What they say:

Our primary expertise is in Enterprise, Consumer, and AI but we are always looking to make bold bets in other verticals and with teams who want to change what’s possible.

What we look for: We invest in fintech, B2B SaaS, consumer, and AI. Our sweet spot ranges from pre-revenue to seed-ext metrics.

How we help: We know the challenges founders face. We’ve been there, too. Thanks to our decades of thriving and surviving in recessions and booms, alike, we know the financial discipline and operational expertise it takes to build businesses that endure. We also know the importance of staying bold and agile, like the start-ups we’ve funded and helped scale.
