Investment thesis
The firm views AI as a milestone within the data maturity spectrum, not as a standalone product. It partners with technical founders post-product, helping them progress through stages of data collection, integration, analytics, and AI operationalization. Rather than pursuing frontier AI uniformly across verticals, the firm recognizes that maturity levels vary by industry and helps portfolio companies meet customers at their current stage of capability. Support ranges from MVP refinement and early market validation through GTM optimization, team building, operational scaling, and breakthrough growth.
