We provide early-growth stage capital to transformational venture-backed technology businesses.
Investment Strategy
We believe in partnering with the very best entrepreneurs and top-tier early-stage investors to help build enduring technology companies.
We strive to partner with companies early in their journeys, typically at the Series B and Series C stage, and we support our companies through all market cycles.
We operate under the premise that the only way to build a world class business is to always put the company first. We believe this ethos optimizes outcomes for our companies and Limited Partners alike.
