The world doesn’t change until
great teams
decide it should.

An early-stage startup is really just a team and a mission. We spend all of our time identifying extraordinary teams and supporting them to accelerate their journey.

We dedicate ourselves to ensuring that innovation happens faster – our mission is to increase the slope of innovation.

The startups we back share these values

Team Builders, not Lone Wolves

Our approach is rooted in the belief that great teams are the centerpiece of bringing world-changing ideas into reality. We look for founders who recognize the essential value of building an ‘ensemble’ that is greater than the sum of its parts, especially at the early stages, where execution and experience are most crucial.

Relentless Iterators

Your path to customer truth requires urgent iteration. Great teams live in the scientific method of hypothesizing and testing with incredibly fast cycle times.

Engineering-First Mindset

We are a team of techno-optimist builders. We love meeting founders who take a similar approach while demonstrating a disciplined, engineering-centric mindset to product development.

Unsatisfied

The world is tapping you on your shoulder. We’re looking for founders who respond and want to impact countless lives across the world and across generations.
