What we look for

Industry agnostic. We consider technology based and traditional businesses.

01

Seed or Series A

Companies raising a seed or Series A round that may never have to raise again. Typical first check: $200 - 500K.

02

A team that is communicative, coachable and credible

We back founders who see opportunities others miss and who work openly with their investors.

03

B2B (or B2B2C)

Selling to "real" businesses, sometimes called boring businesses. We do not invest in Web3 / crypto, banks, or legal firms.

04

Building smart distribution

Partnered with industry to build relationships and distribution channels.

05

Commercially proven

At least $300K in trailing 12 month commercial revenues. In lieu of commercial revenues, life sciences companies can offset with granted patents.

Our process

Step 1

Fit

We assess maturity, business model, team and investability, starting with an introductory meeting.

Step 2

Diligence

Selected companies complete preliminary due diligence with us and are prepared for investment before any investor introduction.

Step 3

Close and monitor

We work with our legal partners on deal terms through closing, then monitor the investment and report to our investor group.
