how we work
how we work
We make our investments based on seeing patterns that we believe will create or increase demand in the market, and coupling that with people we believe in.
Our venture builder works well at all stages, and we often find ourselves as Co-Founders at Pre-seed, Advisory Board at Seed to series A, and Corporate Advisors at later stages.
Our passion is to build great companies with good people, and we try to talk to as many entrepreneurs as possible. Therefore, our process is very streamlined and transparent.
01
contact
Send us your presentation deck. We expect to see a clear vision, unorthodox perspective, and a scalable business model. Our process starts with understanding your unique approach to addressing significant market needs.
02
opportunity
We mostly look for founder-fit, and to us not fitting in is the perfect fit. We seek founders who see the world a bit differently, and who realize that most of what we use in our everyday lives is human-made and up for debate.
03
Evaluation
Tired of “Thanks, but this is not a good fit for our strategy?” From us you will always get an honest opinion on why it’s a fit or not, or if we think that your company lacks some elements pivotal for success.
We trust that founders can grow from honest feedback.
04
connect
If it’s a fit, we will engage deeply to understand your business model and vision, and will be offering strategic advice or hands-on support to realize your vision.
Our partnership extends beyond capital, encompassing network access, operational guidance, Co-Founders-as-a-Service, and growth acceleration.
