WE INVEST EARLY
We invest early, between $100k to 50 Million. Some folks call us a seed fund. Others think of us as an early Series A fund. We aren’t a concept fund, even though we’ve written checks after seeing nothing more than a PowerPoint.
WE ARE MINORITY INVESTOR
We each have deep operating experience in the tech industry. But we believe great companies are built by great entrepreneurs, not venture capitalists. We like to help behind the scenes. Our entrepreneurs count on us for introductions, advice on hiring, inking partnerships, and every once in a while, operational issues. And sometimes, with their blessing, we help them get crazy acquisition offers.
WE RIDE DISRUPTION
We don’t like just better mousetraps – a good customer value proposition isn’t enough for us to get excited. We think the most value is created when there is an underlying industry disruption that can carry a company to success. We think few markets experience disruptive change each year so we only make a handful of new investments.
