Early belief changes everything.
We invest before it’s obvious. Before the traction. Before the hype. Because
the best companies don’t look safe at the start, they look interesting.
Big Problems
Ideas that matter, not just incremental improvements.
Technical Leverage

hiring, strategy, and fundraising, every step of the way.
