Investment Strategy
We select promising deals from our vast trustworthy referral sources within the ecosystem including investment, legal, financial advisors, key opinion leaders, and fellow venture investors. Then, we perform our in-depth qualitative and quantitative analyses to make investment decisions.
Investing is a team sport and we are comfortable partnering with other quality investors as a syndicate. We are also comfortable serving as lead when our conviction is strong and warrants such a position to ensure great investments are done.
We work with both academic and industry leaders to identify the future needs of the market and mentor founders to build their companies.
The balance of quality deal flow, speed, thorough due diligence processes, and staying close to our investments are keys to driving success in our portfolio returns.
Our core is based on building companies in alignment with great founders and solid science.
Investment Focus
Betting on transformative technologies by spectacular company founders in their earliest stages leads to the prospect of generating outsized returns.
The earliest part of the venture lifecycle is more insulated from macroeconomic challenges than its late- and venture-growth-stage counterparts.
The nascency of early-stage means that founders have multiple years to refine and grow their business with the involvement of strong investor syndicates and mentors.
Increasing presence of nontraditional syndicate investors such as CVCs that are looking to reap long-term, strategic benefits for their parent organizations and invest alongside venture investors in a syndicate providing market validation and an opportunity to tap into innovative startups to eventually disrupt existing markets.
