Investment Thesis

Leverage VC partners with founders by leveraging deep operational and technical expertise to help them succeed, rather than taking a traditional boardroom approach. The firm emphasizes hands-on involvement across business, technology, and marketing domains. As stated on their site, they are a “group of sleeves-ROLLED-UP founders helping founders (not stuffy boardroom execs)” whose success comes from “thoughtful analysis. A tightly-knit team. A wide-reaching network. And strategic, lasting relationships in the fast-evolving startup world.”

What Sets Them Apart

  • Founder-operated firm with deep operational experience - partners are successful founders themselves (Enthusiast Gaming took NASDAQ exit, co-founder of multiple startups)
  • Hands-on operational support beyond capital - providing technology development, marketing expertise, business strategy, and fundraising assistance
  • Deep expertise across business, technology, and marketing at the intersection of these domains
  • Willingness to take equity in exchange for services and become co-founders or active board members
  • Track record of building companies to significant scale (Enthusiast Gaming: $1B market cap; multiple companies valued $100M+)
  • Pragmatic approach that considers both risks and opportunities
  • Small, tightly-knit team vs. large institutional structure
