Investment thesis
Inspovation focuses on partnering with startups at the earliest, ground-floor stage, drawing on its partners' experience building and taking companies public. Rather than managing a broad portfolio, the firm follows a 'go deep not wide' model centered on a small number of highly selective investments, allowing it to devote significant bandwidth and add substantial hands-on value to each company it backs.
