Our Approach
Who We Are
As former founders, we’ve seen the movie before. We’ve raised $100M+ for our own companies, scaled teams in multiple countries and had successful exits. We’ve been in your shoes and know what it takes to build a world-changing company.
We’ve built an exhaustive network of founders, investors and experts to help you on your journey from zero to one and beyond. We strive to pick winners early and support them with expert help, the right introductions, and follow on growth capital.
We take a global approach and you’re just as likely to find our extended network in Los Angeles, Singapore, Vancouver, Amsterdam or Nashville as in San Francisco.

How long does an investment decision take?
We hate wasting a founder's time. While our process typically takes less than 4 weeks (end to end), we average 12 days to make a final decision.
What does your process look like?
- Step 1:
- One or two founder calls to learn about the team, product, business model, etc. Occasionally, we'll ask you to meet with a domain expert in our network.
- Step 2:
- Associates are assigned for deeper diligence. They'll organize additional calls, dive deep on specific areas the your business, perform market and trend analysis, and provide their final feedback and recommendation to the investment committee.
- Step 3:
- The investment committee meets to discuss, agree on terms, and informs the company of our intention to move forward.
- Step 4:
- Our legal team reviews all final purchase agreements, corporate docs, etc. Once approved, everything is sent for signature and money wired.
- Step 5:
- We help you grow! Upon request, our expert network of former founders, operators, growth marketers, and technical experts become available to help your company succeed.
Do you lead rounds?
We rarely ever lead rounds. Instead, we prefer to co-invest alongside trusted investors in our network.
Do you invest in specific geographies?
We believe exceptional companies are built everywhere. As such, we're geography agnostic and have invested in companies across 4 continents (so far).
Do you have a preferred investment instrument?
We prefer priced equity or SAFE rounds. It's not a deal breaker, but we tend to shy away from convertible notes.
