Your commitment to the challenge is matched by our commitment to your dream
We don’t just invest. We’re invested.
Running a startup takes spirit, hard work, resilience, and self-belief. It also takes teamwork. Our passion is what made our own businesses and portfolio companies of the past a success, and today, nothing inspires us more than collaborating with creative people toward a shared vision for the future.
We’ve been in your shoes as founders and operators and appreciate the hard work involved in building teams, advancing technologies, dislodging incumbents and changing the status quo. As startup people, we love collaborating with passionate, inspiring entrepreneurs. We love helping to shape ideas around a common purpose—testing them against real-life needs and challenges, and moving them forward. And we love seeing gifted, hard-working people rewarded with the success they deserve.
