About

Investment GEO Focus: USA, EU, UK, NATO and allies. Our LPs come from NATO and allied countries.

From Pre-Seed to IPO

We back first time and experienced founders with the first check in Pre-seed, Seed or A round.

We can follow on until IPO or a successful exit.

We work with companies from their inception through their early lifecycle and can add real value - connecting them to the networks that matter most. We strive to be the founder(s)’ first call and focus on ramping up product market fit and sales. We can act as a Founding Investor if needed, transition out after reaching milestones and/or hiring professional team.

“Imagination is more important that knowledge” (A. Einstein)

Before we invest we validate product market fit and refine ideal customer profile.

Every research paper we read (yes, we do read research papers), we see all the ways the technology can disrupt existing industries.

We continue to support the startups post-investment with hands on business development, recruitment and sales when needed.
