Investment Thesis
THE GREATEST DRIVER OF VENTURE RETURNS IS THE SELECTION OF FOUNDERS STRENGTHENED BY STRUGGLE
OPERATORS BETWEEN THE COASTS ARE BUILT DIFFERENT
struggle
Above all, we seek founders who display extraordinary levels of perseverance in the face of adversity.
Customers First
The best companies are intentionally built with customer discovery prioritized over investor or press interest.
