CAPITAL
We lead seed rounds and offer industry-standard, founder-friendly terms. We follow up to maintain our pro-rata in Series A and Series B rounds.
Our approach
We back founders on day one — and stay for the long run.
A founder has three core tasks: to set the vision of the company; to build the team that is going to deliver on this vision; and to secure the required resources for the team to make it happen. We want to make sure that you perform on all three tasks in the best way possible.

AN ENDURING HUMAN RELATIONSHIP
Entrepreneurship is said to be a lonely journey. It does not have to be such. First and foremost, we build transparent, sincere, and long-lasting relationships. We exist to be the first you turn to for a word of advice or even emotional support.
