We are a super angel fund, founded and operated by a team with significant operating, industry and start-up experience. We aim to be different in tangible ways that matter to the founders we back. We practice what we preach. We bootstrapped our fund for several years before raising outside capital to make a bigger difference for our companies. We went from scratch to a portfolio of over 60 companies and 20 exits in a matter of 4 years. Our philosophy is to be disruptive in a field where most existing players have hardly changed the way they operate.
Here are the main tenets of our approach:
- Art of Connections – Our goal with every connection we make and every interaction we have, is to increase possibility of success. Our most important contribution to our founders is making connections that matter, at a time that’s critical.
- Alignment of Incentives – We kept our fund size small enough so we are not bound by potential exit size when we make our investments, and large enough so we can play a critical role for the companies we back. As our track record indicates, we define success the same way our founders do.
- Prepared Mind – We feel strongly that great investments are a consequence of deep conviction. We do our homework on our key focus areas, and try to be vocal where we feel we see the most interesting opportunities.
- Building a Strong Brand through Word of Mouth – The biggest compliment for us is to have our founding teams refer fellow entrepreneurs to us. That is our biggest motivator, and what makes us strive to improve every detail of how we work, every day.
