We write first checks into enterprise startups with a clear technical differentiation in data infrastructure, AI & ML platforms, devtools, blockchain and cloud tech.
Not your typical VC
We're your best brainstorming partner, your closest confidant and are most often the best-connected network on your cap table, helping you every step of the way.
We invest $500k - $1.5m in pre-seed and seed rounds, and support you in achieving their key KPIs until we intro you to your next round of investors via our extensive network of top funds.
Experience: The transition from engineer to engineer-founder can be intimidating. We bring the knowledge, resources and learnings we've acquired from our own day 0 founding experiences and begin collaborating with you from the earliest moment you have an idea.
Network: We've spent 10 years building a community of engineer-founders. Attend our events to network with other founders, learn about the latest in enterprise tech, brainstorm with our team and be inspired by our amazing, geeky community.
Growth: Whether you need a design partner, a GTM strategy or engineering talent, we've got you covered. No two startups are alike, but we work directly with you to understand your needs and turn to our toolbox of resources to help as quickly as possible.
Funding: Think of us as the ringleader of your Friends & Family round. Yes, we'll write your first check and help you get your idea off the ground, but then we'll connect you to our vast network of top-tier investors.
