Investment Thesis

The fund targets high-conviction, local startup investing by building a broad, index-like portfolio of ‘Tweener’ and pre-Tweener companies headquartered in North Carolina. It uses a rolling‑fund model to make a large number of smaller, early-stage equity investments each quarter, prioritizing founder support, local deal flow, and maximizing capital that goes to startups (via low fees and typical VC carry), while maintaining active communication with LPs.
