Connecting the right people around the right founders at the right moment.

I spend most of my time connecting ambitious founders to the exact right people at the exact right moment—the right lead investor, a co-investor who adds real value, or another founder who's three steps ahead. I invest at pre-seed and seed, with a generalist approach driven by ambition and founder quality rather than sector trends. The investment is the starting point. What I'm really doing is putting over a decade of compounding relationships to work.

  • Pre-seed and seed, generalist — ambition and quality over sector trends
  • A large investor network: fast introductions to the right lead and co-investors
  • Fair terms advocacy — we know what aggressive looks like and will push back
  • Peer-to-peer community through online and offline events, built on paying it forward

Approach

We're exceptionally good at helping founders build the right investor syndicate at pre-seed and seed — because we have a large network of angels, pre-seed funds, seed funds, and early-stage funds, and we move fast. We know what fair terms look like and will help when a lead pushes too hard. And we intentionally build peer-to-peer community through online and offline events, because founder-to-founder learning is one of the few things that truly compounds.
