Investment Thesis

Focus statement

They "lead seed and Series A rounds and invest throughout the life of technology companies," backing "category-defining companies across all sectors that will last for lifetimes" (sectors called out across their site include AeroAstro, Climate, Consumer, Crypto, Defense, Enterprise, Financial, and Healthcare).

Value Add

Small, tightly-collaborative team with no internal politics or promotion ladders: "We are a small team. We are not lone wolves: we value personal relationships, not personal brands, and work together on every investment."
Willingness to take true early-stage risk and to remain a decades-long partner: "None of our investments are options; we invest when we genuinely want to work with you for decades."
Alternative to industrialized VC / hype-driven investing: contrasted by the line "Long-term thinking in venture capital is dead." and their stated aim to offer an "alternative to the hype cycle."
Generalist, sector-agnostic approach to category-defining tech companies across many industries (explicit sector list on Partnerships page).
Proven track record of leading rounds others wouldn’t (examples on site: Airtable, Saronic, Varda, Virta, Aven).
