Investing globally has always been our instinct. Since launching our Early Stage and Growth Funds in San Francisco, we’ve established Early Stage funds in Asia, Europe, and South America. We created these funds to lead rounds at every stage, in every geography. We are actively on the ground across continents, seeing local trends up close, searching for top founders, and bringing them our world of resources. Once we commit to a team, we go to the ends of the earth – connecting entrepreneurs to each other, to customers, and to insights from distant markets – to help them become a global success.

We are early-stage investors who partner with visionary founders building technology companies worldwide. We look for founders on a mission to fundamentally disrupt industries and have the resilience required to execute at scale. We believe in Founders We build partnerships with Founders who think differently about the future and work to enable their immense ambition. As Founders ourselves, we recognize the criticisms every Founder faces and the challenges they go through. We understand that Founders don’t have all the answers and will make mistakes. Great Founders are experts with comprehensive knowledge about their companies and their domains. Founders need support and we are here to help them define the future. We exist to enable the ubiquitous companies of tomorrow We seek out the disruptors, innovators, builders, scientists, and technologists. We are techno-optimists, and we look for companies pursuing breakthroughs at the intersection of multiple disciplines and where there are extremely large market opportunities. Outcomes in venture are asymmetric and we seek to partner with Founders who have a radical vision for how to improve the world. We push our Founders to look beyond 10x ideas and build 100x companies with a relentless focus on building sustainable long-term competitive advantages. We believe software continues to eat the World, for the better The rate of technological innovation in the world continues to accelerate and we believe that the compounding of innovation will continue to be a force for good. The rapid convergence of technologies is creating an expanding set of opportunities. We embrace this reality, not just in our investments, but also in how we organize as a firm. Our companies are innovators and we too must innovate. Their businesses are global and we too must organize globally. As the world continues to change, so will we. We choose to go to the moon We don’t do what’s easy, we do what’s hard. We want to have an impact on society and the economy that is much bigger than ourselves and we partner with companies with the ambition to do the same. We are relentless in our desire to be the most valuable partners to our companies at the early stage. We earn the right everyday to partner with the defining companies of tomorrow, work with the most outstanding people, and partner with trailblazing Founders. We build infrastructure that puts our competitive advantages at the service of the Founders we back and coach them to strength. We think in decades, not dollars. We prioritize character We believe that our reputation will be the primary driver of the value we create over the very long term. There are no shortcuts. We have incredibly high standards and our actions and the relationships we build will define our success. We are honest and trustworthy, and we always stand by our commitments. We are never transactional. We seek a high degree of alignment and work only with people who are aligned with us. We treat everyone with respect and always seek to add value, even in the deals we don’t do. We are building a firm, not a fund Our ambition is to build a permanent and preeminent investment firm that companies, Founders, and LPs strive to do business with. We want to win. We do the hard, often unglamorous, work to make things happen. We only work with outstanding and exceptional people who love the work we do. We are building a firm that Founders seek out for the value we add, the expertise we bring, the honesty and respect they deserve, and the actions we deliver.
