We are known for providing value at critical moments within a company's life cycle. We call this the Inflection Point Approach. From ideation to growth, we most commonly help during fundraising/financing, corporate development/M&A, and business development. Because of our long investment history and unique position within the larger tech ecosystem, we have developed an unparalleled network of partners, advisors, and friends with deep experience in every aspect of a company's growth. At key moments, we are able to leverage these connections for our founders, whether it be strategic advice or help finding a highly specialized doctor for a loved one. We recognize the human element behind each company and aim to provide full-spectrum support for the company’s success.
