Investment Thesis

The firm was founded on the premise that all entrepreneurs, regardless of background, benefit from having an institutional investor to help them scale from the very beginning. They believe that the greatest returns in venture come from capable but unproven entrepreneurs who have not yet had the opportunity to demonstrate their talents.
