OUR THESIS

Three commitments to every founder we back.

A fund is a set of promises. These are ours — written into every term sheet we sign.

01

Who we back

Series A–C founders building companies at the intersection of creative breakthroughs and category-defining markets. We lead, co-lead, and follow — across $2M to $15M checks from Fund III.

02

What we unlock

Capital is the starting line. Our 40-person operating network — including two former unicorn founders, three public-company CFOs, and one former SEC commissioner — plus in-house Talent Partners who have placed 240+ executives at no incremental cost to founders.

03

What we refuse to compromise

The mission. 68% of our portfolio has a female or underrepresented founder — versus a 23% industry average. We co-signed the ILPA Diversity in Action initiative and charter the Net Zero VC commitment, because long-term returns require long-term responsibility.

The Operating Network

Capital is the starting line, not the product.

A 40-person bench of operators who pick up the phone before your board does — embedded across talent, finance, regulation, and founder health.

01

Talent Partners

In-house team placing C-suite and VP hires across the portfolio. 240+ executives seated since 2019 — at no incremental cost to founders.

240+ exec placements
02

CFO & Finance Bench

Three former public-company CFOs on retainer. Audit prep, debt strategy, and Series B–D modeling — without hiring a Big Four engagement.

3 former public-company CFOs
03

Regulatory Access

A former SEC commissioner and two ex-FTC senior staffers in network. Sanity-check your regulatory posture before it becomes a board agenda.

1 former SEC commissioner
04
