Investment Thesis

The firm is an operator-led early-stage investor that prioritizes helping deep-tech, technical founding teams achieve what they call ‘Momentum.’ They believe that “enabling the Momentum wheel is the hardest part yet the only thing that startups need to care about in the early days,” so their approach centers on hands-on, GTM and operator support to accelerate product/market traction at pre-seed and seed stages.

They focus on "global, pre-seed & seed technical teams" — specifically early-stage deep-tech founders where the fund can "help them reach Momentum quickly."

Value Add

Operator-led fund led by an active GTM exec (Managing Partner Carles Reina) — described as an "operator-turned-investor" who continues to be a GTM Exec.
Founder's operating experience: Carles' background includes early roles at Uber EMEA, building Ops at Tractable AI, GTM at Sonantic, and currently leading GTM at ElevenLabs — giving direct, current GTM experience to portfolio companies.
Proven early backing/track record: Carles has backed +70 startups (including Revolut) and was the first investor in ElevenLabs — indicating early-stage sourcing and conviction capability.
Explicit, narrow thesis around achieving 'Momentum' (a named concept) rather than a broad sector play — a clear operational outcome focus.
Global remit at very early stages (pre-seed & seed) with a technical/deep-tech orientation.
