The fund

We back founders the way we wish we'd been backed.

The people making the call have built companies of their own, so you get their network and their judgment from your first check. We back the earliest teams in AI, gaming, fintech, and vertical software.

How we decide

How a yes happens.

01

Operators make the call

The people deciding have built companies themselves. They know a real one when they see it.

02

An answer in two weeks

A clear yes or no, with reasons, and none of the committee theatre.

03

We stay

The check is the start. We stay close, and bring co-investors to help fill the round.

For LPs

A front-row seat to what's next.

We partner with a small group of aligned LPs who want early exposure to the founders shaping AI, gaming, fintech, and vertical software.

A curated early-stage portfolio, without running a fund yourself.

The right to co-invest directly in the breakouts.

Access to the network, and the deals it sees first.
