                    Anti-hype

                    Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

                    --Thomas Edison

                    Hype is toxic. FOMO is an investor’s kryptonite. The relentless hype cycle drives irrational investment decisions. We value solid business fundamentals, happy customers, and real engagement.
                    Our strike zone

                    One man with conviction will overwhelm a hundred who only have opinions.

                    -Winston Churchill

                    We are Series A investors in software and marketplace businesses across categories. Valuing quality relationships over quantity of companies, we lead, join boards, and help early stage companies become sophisticated growth engines.
                    Markets that matter

                    Difficulties are just things to overcome, after all.

                    -Ernest Shackleton

                    We invest in companies with bold plans to transform industries and be standalone-at-scale category leaders in markets that matter in perpetuity. Building iconic companies takes time, we’re not in it for the quick flip.
                    Exceptionally capable people

                    The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

                    -Alexander Graham Bell

                    We partner with founders that can tackle any problem adeptly and who are as relentlessly dedicated to their craft as we are to ours.
