As seasoned technology founders, operators, and investors, building and scaling great companies is in our DNA.
We understand first hand that the journey of building enduring companies of scale requires tremendous resilience, key relationships, operational support, and trusted advice.
Engagement
Company building is not a spectator sport. We take pride that we are known as active, impactful partners. We have assembled a dedicated team of investment and operating professionals to advise and work alongside our companies. Think of us as both coach and teammate.
Expertise
The road a company takes in its development is never predictable or easy to navigate. Each phase of growth is characterized by different needs and opportunities. With our extensive operating backgrounds, we help companies anticipate blind spots and find solutions to get past roadblocks.
Access
To succeed, businesses require access to key relationships at every stage along the way. We offer a vast and high caliber network of relationships that we have cultivated over time. We leverage these industry advisors, domain experts, technology leaders, and other partners to unlock opportunities and open doors for our companies. We know it takes a village.
Insight
Through our multi-stage investing and deep research into both the private and public markets, we are able to offer valuable insights that we can put to work for the benefit of our portfolio companies. We are always questioning our assumptions, seeking out new data, and refining our approach.
Enrichment
Our entrepreneurs are motivated, brilliant leaders with growth-oriented mindsets. We support their growth and development by hosting regular community events, networking, and learning opportunities to advance their knowledge and skillsets.
