They prioritize investing “in people” and partnering from inception through growth cycles, offering hands-on operational support, networks, and mentorship to help scale businesses in large markets.

They prefer to lead or meaningfully participate (targeting ownership levels of 10% or more) in Pre-seed through Series B rounds, focusing on “big ideas in huge markets” and companies solving significant problems where long-term partnership and active involvement can accelerate outcomes.
