We are today's VC powerhouse. Built for tomorrow's market leaders.
Be that one guy at the rooftop party who won't shut up about his tech company.
Every market leader starts with a founder who sees what others miss — not just building the next Uber, but inventing entirely new markets that redefine how the world lives and works.
We're seasoned founders, developers, bankers, and investors who back bold visionaries ready to turn groundbreaking ideas into unstoppable movements.
Partnering with seed and Series A companies raising $1 million to $15 million, we provide the capital, expertise, and network to scale fast and scale smart.
More than investors, we're hands-on partners delivering strategic insight and connections that open doors and accelerate growth.
We back founders who don't just enter markets — they create them, rewriting the rules and setting new standards for entire industries.
We don't just invest. We commit. Partnering with founders to turn bold visions into lasting, world-changing impact.
