Investment thesis
EVP invests in category-defining software businesses that show compounding advantages, strong economics, and defensibility. The firm looks for disruptive companies leveraging AI and founders with earned founder-market fit and a genuine right to win. As a high-conviction lead investor, EVP builds concentrated rather than passive portfolios, supporting companies through its portfolio network, follow-on capital, executive hiring, and clear strategic thinking at critical moments.
