We are entrepreneurs and operators
Our goal is to be aligned with the interests of the Founders to the maximum. We learn hard to understand the business and build roadmaps. We always want to bring fresh ideas, new thinking, and different perspectives. We are seed investor but provide support across the board beyond that.
