Our Approach
We back our founders as a lead investor and are almost always their first VC check. Being the first believer in a founder provides an opportunity to build a meaningful relationship and long-term partnership.
We back people rather than ideas. From outset to exit, founders trust us and lean on us during the key inflection points as they build great companies. We're often the first phone call for the highs, lows and everything in between.
We’re backing founders who really have a mission, who have a vision for changing the world.

They are obsessively people-focused. They wanted to get to know me and my co-founder as people... it's a much more human interaction.

The name is true. They do stand resolutely by their founders.
