Acting as an entrepreneurial, hands-on partner, the firm backs passionate founders and management teams to scale innovative businesses. It offers angel/seed capital as well as growth capital, typically following its initial investments up to at least Series B. The firm emphasizes long-term impact over quick exits, contributing expertise in governance, branding, business building, growth financing, IPOs, and M&A.
