They are an early-stage technology venture capital firm. They partner with founders seeking to invent new market categories or transform large, existing industries. They chase after outliers. They only invest if a company has the potential to be a large, valuable, global market leader. We care more about the magnitude of the return if things work, and less about minimizing risk in a company’s early days. They prefer to be the first venture investor. We follow our investments, aiming to be shareholders for seven to ten years. We invest as little as $250,000 to seed a company and as much as $5,000,000 to lead a round.
