Our Approach
We invest in people first and businesses second.
Ideas matter, but the people behind them matter more. The best founders refuse to quit. They adapt when things go sideways and find a way forward when most others would stop.
We look for businesses that have proven something in the real world—even if it's just early customers or modest revenue. That proof of life shows real validation and a founder who's pushed through obstacles to ship.
We're not passive capital. We look for opportunities where our operating experience can meaningfully accelerate your trajectory.

What We Look For
Four questions we ask about every founder and opportunity.
01
Trust
Do we trust the person running the business?
Trust is everything. We back founders whose word means something—who communicate honestly in good times and bad. We'd rather back someone we trust with an imperfect plan than a brilliant strategist we don't believe.
02
Conviction
Will they stay the course when things get hard?
Every business faces turbulence. The best founders lead with conviction—a blend of belief, courage, and endurance. They're driven by purpose, not comfort.
03
Vision
Is the idea grounded in a real problem?
We want to understand what you're solving, for whom, and why it matters. Strong ideas don't have to be revolutionary—they need to work better, faster, or more efficiently than what exists.
04
Discipline
Does the valuation reflect reality?
We look for logic and fairness, not fantasy. A valuation should reflect traction, not just potential. We value founders who understand capital efficiency.
