Investment thesis
The firm is a solo-GP vehicle focused on early-stage AI companies, primarily seed-stage AI applications and data infrastructure, with occasional Series A participation through an opportunity fund. Beyond capital, the GP supports founders as a COO-style thought partner on go-to-market strategy, category creation, and broader business-scaling challenges, drawing on prior operating experience scaling a SaaS company from $1M to $85M ARR. The fund succeeds an earlier rolling fund and continues to back AI-native applications and infrastructure startups.
