 Dedicated seed stage investors focused on transformative internet businesses.

We are witnessing an evolution in the way early stage companies are built and financed. Current funding sources often have mismatched incentives and expertise to support entrepreneurs at the seed stage. And yet, it is the most exciting time in history to build ambitious Internet businesses.

STARTUPS DO MORE WITH LESS

Not only has the raw cost of computing plummeted, but the platforms for rapid scaling, distribution, and monetization are maturing. Companies can test, refine, and begin monetizing their products at a fraction of what it cost ten years ago. And it's only getting better.

COMPANY BUILDING IS DIFFERENT

Formal business plans are dead. The ability to stay lean while rapidly iterating to delight customers changes the way startups are built. Investors and founders need to be able to thrive in uncertainty and collaborate to build and launch products that win. 

ALIGNMENT

Appropriately sized funds create closer incentive alignment between the entrepreneurs and investors. These funds provide entrepreneurs with greater flexibility in future financing and exit decisions because their investors can be successful in both venture-scale and sub $100M outcomes.
