General Partner
Two infrastructure exits, and she wrote the first line of code at both.
Infrastructure, security
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.

Partner, Platform
Built the hiring and go-to-market functions at two Series A companies.
Talent, go-to-market
Principal
Former founder. Meets companies at the earliest and messiest stage.
Sourcing, consumer
Small partnership, plain rules.
They own the relationship from the first email through the next round. No handoffs.
Monday morning, ninety minutes. Every live company is discussed while the founder is still waiting for an answer, not weeks later.
A single partner with strong conviction can write a first check. Unanimity would only get us the companies nobody argues about.
Whoever sponsored the company writes the note. It is uncomfortable and it is the right way to do it.
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.
Staff and principal engineers from infrastructure, security, and machine learning teams who will review an architecture over a call.
First sales hires and growth leads who have taken a product from nothing to its first million in revenue.
The most used resource of all. Most questions a pre-seed founder has were answered two years ago by someone else on this list.
We hire rarely and slowly.
If neither fits and you still think you should be here, write to us with what you would do in your first ninety days.
Tell us what you are building. We will route it to the right person, usually within a day.
