Our firm is built on two decades of genuine partnership
It’s a Privilege to Work Alongside Entrepreneurs
Our track record of success is driven by our values and alignment with founders.
We’re on iMessage with founders 24/7. We recognize the stress put on founders and support our portfolio companies with coaching and mental health resources. Entrepreneurs we back, regardless of our success together, are our best references.
We’ve seen firsthand how scaling without cultural values in place can sink a startup’s morale, culture, and productivity. We felt we should hold ourselves to the same standards as we hold our companies. We express our values below.
-
If our portfolio companies succeed, we succeed. Maintaining our reputation depends on us always doing the right thing. We don’t “flip” businesses or invest in competitors of our portfolio companies.
-
It's a privilege to work alongside entrepreneurs. As former operators and engineers, we know what the other side of the table is like and only invest in companies in which we believe we can add significant value.
-
We listen more than we talk. We give candid, constructive feedback to companies and each other. Entrepreneurs we back, regardless of our success together, are our best references.
-
We align ourselves with our LPs by investing a meaningful amount of our own capital in every fund. We value the voices of our entire team and additional perspectives co-investors bring. Our team works together on every investment and our compensation is never deal-specific.
