Profile

We think that the iconic companies of tomorrow will be built by founders who make bold bets about the future that turn out to be right. We seek to invest in these founders as early as possible, often as their first investor.





We make decisions independently and quickly. That means we don't care "how the round is going" or who else is in. In fact, we think the best startups often sound like bad ideas at first because the founders are reasoning backwards from the future and the world hasn't caught up to them (yet). So if you have a conventionally bad idea that you think will actually change the world, we’d love to meet you.
