An early-stage venture firm built to serve founders.

Our LPs are founders, operators, and late-stage investors who have built some of the most iconic companies of our generation.

By bringing them together, our goal is simple: to put our collective experience and networks at the service of the founders we partner with.

How we invest

We focus on pre-seed and seed, typically writing $100K–$500K checks. We like to invest early and are often the first to do so.

Areas of interest

We are deeply optimistic about the future and believe AI will have a profoundly positive impact on society, which is why we partner with founders building in these areas:

  • AI application layer

  • AI infrastructure and developer tools

  • AI modernizing core industries

  • Embodied AI

  • Founders advancing the American national interest

Portfolio

We like working with technical teams who are obsessed with building products that their customers love.  For example:

  • Paradigm — founded by Anna Monaco

  • Not Diamond — founded by Tomás Hernando Kofman

  • Julius AI — founded by Rahul Sonwalkar

  • Cluely — founded by Roy Lee

  • Momentic — founded by Wei-Wei Wu‍
