Team

Six people. Everyone here has built something.

There is no associate layer between you and a decision maker. The partner you meet first is the partner who takes your company to the table.

How decisions get made

Small partnership, plain rules.

One sponsor, one room, one decision.

  1. 01

    A partner sponsors the company

    They own the relationship from the first email through the next round. No handoffs.

  2. 02

    The partnership meets once a week

    Monday morning, ninety minutes. Every live company is discussed while the founder is still waiting for an answer, not weeks later.

  3. 03

    Conviction beats consensus

    A single partner with strong conviction can write a first check. Unanimity would only get us the companies nobody argues about.

  4. 04

    The no comes with reasons

    Whoever sponsored the company writes the note. It is uncomfortable and it is the right way to do it.

The operators around us

About 200 people take our calls.

Engineers, designers, security leads, and go-to-market operators who invest alongside us in small amounts. They are not a logo wall. They are people we ask for help on behalf of founders, and they answer.

Technical advisors

Staff and principal engineers from infrastructure, security, and machine learning teams who will review an architecture over a call.

Go-to-market operators

First sales hires and growth leads who have taken a product from nothing to its first million in revenue.

Founders in the portfolio

The most used resource of all. Most questions a pre-seed founder has were answered two years ago by someone else on this list.

Working here

We hire rarely and slowly.

Two open roles.

If neither fits and you still think you should be here, write to us with what you would do in your first ninety days.

Next step

Meet whichever partner knows your area best.

Tell us what you are building. We will route it to the right person, usually within a day.
