Unparalleled LP Activation
No other early stage VC engages their investors in the sourcing and selection process as deeply as we do.
We leverage a humility-based approach
If we don’t have the right expertise among our investor base, we pass quickly.
By assembling the right deal teams we make informed, high-confidence decisions — and ultimately add more value too.
Screening
General Partners (GPs) screen founders and complete initial evaluation while identifying risks and knowledge gaps.
Diligence
GPs select 3+ specialists amongst our Investor Base to continue evaluation.
Decision
When a quorum of subject matter experts votes in favor, GPs then make the final decision.
We back conscientious visionaries.
