General information:

We are a $40 million early stage technology venture capital firm. We partner with founders seeking to invent new market categories or transform large, existing industries. Our sweet spot is internet, mobile and software startup investing.

We prefer to be the first venture investor and 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 $2,000,000 to lead a round.

We like taking risks on brilliant people and products. We prefer to work with founders who are either technical or domain experts in their industry. We don’t mind young or first-time founders.

What we look for

Exceptional companies are exceptions; we’re willing to break our rules for the right company.

Market changes that enable a new big business

We like investing in startups either creating new industry categories (e.g. social networking in 2005 and social gaming in 2007) or disrupting a large, existing markets with a 10x better product or service that wasn’t possible before (e.g. CRM and the cloud in 2000).

Demonstrate you hire better than yourself

We’ve found the universal hallmark of great companies is the ability of founders to attract and hire exceptional candidates, raising the bar of the company with each successive hire.

Some evidence of market fit

Be prepared to show us evidence of a clear market insertion point. If you’re a consumer startup, our bar is even higher. We need to see early traction, because we’ve learned data is the best evidence of what resonates and what doesn’t with consumers.
