Investment thesis

The firm invests in post-seed startups with validated market demand backed by hard data and solid metrics. It employs two proprietary data-driven methodologies: Reverse Problem Solving for B2B companies addressing enterprise pain points, and RavingFans for B2C startups showing evidence of habit-forming product success through user behavior analysis. Geography and founder connections are irrelevant; data validation is the primary investment criterion.
