We invest with conviction, backing companies where we see true asymmetric upside.

As a sector-agnostic, global investor, we are focused on backing fast-growing technology companies post-revenue (usually pre-seed or seed), where we can add value through our expertise and network, giving them an unfair advantage to win. Typically, we do not lead rounds, but we can help with finding a lead investor. 

​

Our investments have fueled the growth of category-defining start-ups across multiple industries, with many achieving global success, high-value exits, and follow-on funding rounds from top investors.

Our Unique Value-Add

Sounding Board

We have a people-first approach, backing strong, visionary teams with large ambitions. As serial entrepreneurs, we often become a sounding board for founders on all types of questions with an unbiased, non VC-type of view.

Unfair Advantage

We are hands-off investors, but we like to selectively make introductions as well as propose ideas if we believe our support can have an outsized impact for the company. Due to our strong network and as active entrepreneurs, we can often see opportunities that can provide an unfair advantage.

About You

Common characteristics of our investments include

Initial Market Validation

​We invest where there is clear demand and early traction in a sizable market. We focus on numbers, backing companies showing strong unit economics potential and/or defensibility through technology and IP.

Relationships or Second Time Founders

Typically, we back strong second time founders leading a world-class team, or a founding team with a pre-exisiting relationship.

​

Large, Scalable Business Models

We look for companies that have the potential for reaching $100m annual revenue in 5 years. Ideally, we like to see a large share of recurring revenue, as well as a clear potential to scale efficiently.

​

Non-consensus Bets

We are not momentum investors and like to invest in companies that have strong stand-alone merits with a focus on asymmetric risk/reward.

​

If you are a founder looking to work with us, you should find a warm introduction or send a concise cold email with metrics, explaining why you want to work with us.
