AI Meets Insight

We invest in teams that combine AI with deep domain expertise to solve real problems—making how we live and work smarter, healthier, and more human.

Independent Thinking

We form our own convictions and act with discipline—supporting founders when others overlook them, and staying grounded when the crowd rushes in.

About Us

We’re technical founders ourselves, so we get the tech. But we trust your deep expertise in your field even more. We’ll show up when you need us — and stay out of your way when you don’t. Your time is best spent building, not managing your investors.
