We believe the next wave of high-performing ventures will be built by operators with deep domain insight and a bias for execution.

We focus on models with clear unit economics, paths to early profitability, and the potential to scale with discipline.

HOW WE BUILD

What we bring to the table

  • Our Ideas: 2-3 Cases that (i) we have ideated, (ii) we have a strong believe in and (iii) that are ready to being validated together

  • Our Capital: We invest our own money to provide you with the required pre-seed investment + our network of Angels, Investors and Family Offices for potential follow-up investment

  • Our Hands: We support from day 0. We co-build. We get our hands dirty. We are on the ground with you

What you bring to the table

  • Your Heart: Dedication, drive and the desire to build a profitable business with us over the next 5-10 years

  • Your Brain: A proven track record in building and operating at the highest standards in a high pressure environment

  • Your Attitude: You fully own the case even if we bring in the initial idea. You have the confidence to challenge everything we say and do and proof us wrong

WHAT WE BUILD

Capital efficiency and sharp execution beat hype and burn. We invest early and support relentlessly.

Profitability matters: Most startups we back aim for operational profitability early.Capital efficiency isn’t optional. It’s a mindset.

Execution over narrative: Too many founders raise on vision. We back those who execute – shipping, selling, scaling.

VC is broken: Too much capital follows the same playbook. We invest in overlooked markets, underfunded verticals, and founder archetypes the industry ignores.

Outdated verticals, low competition: We focus on unloved industries where execution is key and competition is weak. Think: old problems, solved with new precision.

Positive Unit Ecos from day 1: Our ventures are designed to become CM3-positive with a lean, capital-efficient setup — often after a single seed round.

AAA+ operator teams only: We only work with founders who build and operate at the highest standards. No tourists, no pitch decks — just proven operators.
