Our thesis

Tech left the Valley. So did we.

Tech used to be an industry unto itself, and it was driven entirely through Silicon Valley. That era is over.

The industries being disrupted today, from logistics and manufacturing to healthcare, agriculture, and local commerce, are no longer exclusively in the Valley. They're everywhere. And the founders who know them from the inside are everywhere too.

We're heaviest in AI, the platform shift of this generation. But we're generalists at heart: if you're building something incredible, we want to see it.
