Principles

Investing sweat, reputation and (our own) capital.
To support you in building the startup you want on your tombstone, not just your social media bio.

Fully aligned with your business model, not ours.
We've been successful enough investing other people's money that now we're using our own. An angel's flexibility with institutional experience. No BS advice. Help navigating fundraising and other key moments.

Increasing the probability, velocity, and scale of your success.
We earn your trust to be both reactive and proactive partners. We provide a 24 hour SLA on any urgent need — closing a hire, vetting an investor, navigating a critical negotiation.

Seeking

Conviction
You're building with love in your heart and a key insight in your head. You also have a chip on your shoulder to solve a problem you know intimately. And you have a keen vision for the world that needs to exist to solve it.

Commitment
You understand that startups require sacrifice at times. You know that an insatiable desire to learn, to bring others along with you and to win are necessary but not sufficient. You appreciate that commitment doesn't mean sacrificing family, health or ethics.

LUV
The problem you're trying to solve is Large, Urgent, and Valuable. You believe that technology can transform industries and unleash new markets, improving access and opportunity for everyone.

Investing

Early
90% of what we do is pre-seed/seed investments of between $100k and $500k. 10% is larger (up to $25+ million) and/or later.

Flexible
No ownership targets - we can be the first check, last check, or anywhere in-between.

Focused
Your startup is located in North or South America and initially targets markets in those geographies
