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.

How to connect with Angel Investors in the AR/VR industry?
In the AR/VR industry, prominent angel investors include Chris Dixon, Marc Andreessen, and Tim Ferriss. These investors focus on startups offering innovative solutions in augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR). Chris Dixon, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, invests in AR/VR startups that push the boundaries of immersive experiences. Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, looks for companies that leverage AR/VR to create new forms of interaction and engagement. Tim Ferriss, an author and entrepreneur, seeks out startups that provide scalable and impactful AR/VR solutions. To connect with these investors, attend AR/VR conferences, tech expos, and networking events such as AWE, VR/AR Global Summit, and CES. Utilize platforms like AngelList and LinkedIn to identify and reach out to potential investors. When pitching, emphasize how your AR/VR solution addresses key challenges, such as enhancing user engagement, improving training and education, or providing new entertainment experiences. Highlight any traction you’ve gained, such as partnerships with tech companies, user growth, or successful pilot projects. Building relationships through initial informal meetings or discussions at industry panels can help establish trust with these investors. Demonstrating the impact of your technology through case studies or user testimonials can also add credibility. Personalize your outreach by referencing the investor’s previous investments and explaining how your venture aligns with their interests. Demonstrating a sustainable business model with clear revenue streams, such as subscription fees, licensing, or product sales, will further strengthen your pitch. Leveraging endorsements or case studies from AR/VR experts can also enhance your credibility.
