invest in advise accelerate

visionary founders

We invest in founders at the earliest stages who are working on ideas that create a better future for us all.

We focus on founders who demonstrate grit, deep domain expertise, and lead through example.

We build supportive relationships early, track performance, and invest at inflection points. We focus on pre-seed and seed stage FinTech and PropTech, but we will also invest opportunistically in other sectors.
