They are especially active in New York and seek founder-led, transformative companies across those dedicated verticals.

Value Add

Dual model: both incubates (originates companies and provides operational leadership) and invests as an early-stage backer.
Operator-founder team: founded by serial entrepreneur Kevin Ryan and staffed by experienced startup operators who 'share the founder’s mindset.'
End-to-end involvement: 'When we incubate, we originate the idea, hire the team, provide initial funding, launch the company, and maintain integral leadership throughout the company’s lifecycle.'
Physician-led healthcare capability: a dedicated healthcare team with medical partners for digital health and value-based care investments.
Clear check-size and stage focus: 'Our average check is $1-5M' and 'We invest primarily in pre-seed and seed rounds (often as the first check in) and make select Series A investments.'
Sector verticalization: explicit, named verticals (Diversified Technology, Healthcare, Robotics, Economic Infrastructure) guiding thematic sourcing and support.
Proven NYC track record: involvement in early building/investing of MongoDB, Business Insider, Gilt Groupe, Zola, Nomad Health and positioning 'at the center of a robust and growing tech ecosystem.'
