What We Look For in a Founding Team

We seek out innovative and driven entrepreneurs who have a knack for identifying emerging markets before anyone else. Their foresight and quick action in addressing these opportunities make them stand out from the crowd, even if they are still quite young.

Geography

Our investment focuses solely on companies based in the United States, particularly those with founding teams in the Bay Area or within the country's borders.

Responsiveness

Consistent and persistent communication with investors is a significant benefit in identifying potential issues at an earlier stage in the company's cycle.

We seek responsive founders who understand the value of sharing information with stakeholders.

Proximity vs. Distribution

In the early stages of a company, founders who work together in the same physical space have a significant advantage over other organizational models. When a distributed team creates a competitive edge and fits with the product strategy, we enjoy investing in it.
