We back the companies of tomorrow before it’s obvious.

Our philosophy

We don't make deals,
we make commitments.

To hard-working founding teams. To humans with guts. To early vision and global ambition. To magical product experience and mind-blowing design. Why? Because we know that the best product wins. The right entrepreneur can disrupt any industry. The most successful entrepreneurs start with intuition and continuously improve through data. That dedication is what sets them apart. A strong leadership team is key to success. Bringing the right people along early has a long-term impact. Because great culture runs faster. You’re on a journey, leaving your mark on our world, likely to take a decade. And we will be there for you during the good times and the bad. We don’t have all the answers but we ask the right questions. We challenge you to think differently and keep pushing toward a bigger dent. We’re all in this together. Why? Because we share the same motivation.
