Investment Thesis
How we think about investing.
01
Founder-first
We invest in people before products. We look for founders with rare conviction, deep domain expertise, and the resilience to build through uncertainty.
02
Contrarian bets
The best opportunities are often where the consensus is wrong. We seek out ideas that seem too early, too weird, or too hard — and back the founders bold enough to pursue them.
03
Technology at the core
We focus on software and technology companies with defensible advantages — businesses where technology is a genuine moat, not a layer on top.
04
Long-term partnership
We think in decades, not quarters. We stay close through the entire journey — from the earliest days through growth, and beyond.
