Focus statement

Invests in U.S.-based pre-seed and seed SMB SaaS and culturally-aligned consumer tech that "support the next generation of small business owners and authentically serve diverse communities," typically leading or co-leading $750K–$5M rounds and writing up to $2.5M.

Value Add

Explicit mission-driven focus: "rooted in economic inclusion and driven by intentional investing."
Dual-sector specialization: SMB SaaS (product-led, high-retention tools for small businesses) plus "culturally-aligned consumer tech" that leverages founders' lived experience.
Operational accelerator (Friends & Family) providing $300K + program support to very early founders as an alternate pathway to capital and community.
Clear, product-centric investment criteria for SMB SaaS (e.g., "Product-led growth instead of an inside sales team," "Self-serve onboarding," "High retention / low churn").
Emphasis on cultural authenticity and community-driven growth for consumer companies (e.g., "Founders with a deep understanding of customer needs, values, and a commitment to building strong brands").
Willingness to lead or co-lead rounds and to provide meaningful check sizes (up to $2.5M) at early stages.
