Seed Investing
Strategic capital for exceptional founders building transformative companies.
Risk-First Investing
Most seed investors talk about upside. We start with risk. Not because we're pessimistic—but because fifteen years of risk management taught us that understanding what can go wrong is the foundation for identifying what will go right.
Our seed investing practice emerged naturally from our risk expertise. We recognized that the same analytical rigor that protects portfolios can identify exceptional early-stage opportunities—founders building durable businesses in markets we understand deeply.
Investment Focus
We invest where our expertise gives us conviction.
AI/ML Infrastructure & Developer Tools
The AI revolution requires foundational infrastructure. We invest in tools and platforms that will power the next generation of intelligent systems—memory systems, developer productivity tools, and ML infrastructure.
PropTech / Real Estate Technology
Real estate remains one of the largest asset classes with enormous efficiency opportunities. We back founders transforming how deals are found, analyzed, and closed.
B2B SaaS
Software that solves real business problems with measurable ROI. We prefer companies with clear paths to profitability and defensible competitive positions.
Investment Parameters
We invest at the earliest stages when our conviction and support matter most.
Initial checks with significant reserves for follow-on in top performers.
We invest in US-based companies where we can be actively engaged partners.
Patient capital with no artificial pressure for quick exits.
Value Beyond Capital
Our portfolio companies gain a partner, not just an investor.
Risk Management Expertise
Portfolio companies can tap our risk management expertise—from financial modeling to scenario planning—to build more resilient businesses.
Strategic Guidance
We've advised institutional investors for 15 years. That perspective helps founders think about their business in new ways.
Network Access
Connections to family offices, institutional investors, and domain experts in real estate and financial technology.
Patient Capital
We invest with a long-term orientation. No pressure for quick exits or growth at all costs—just sustainable value creation.
What We Look For
Technical Depth
We invest in founders who can build what they envision. Technical co-founders who understand their domain deeply give us confidence in execution.
Market Insight
The best founders have lived the problem they're solving. Domain expertise translates to product intuition and customer empathy.
Intellectual Honesty
We look for founders who acknowledge what they don't know, adapt based on evidence, and make decisions with clear-eyed analysis.
Long-Term Orientation
Building a durable business takes time. We partner with founders who prioritize sustainable growth over shortcuts.
Our Process
Initial Conversation
We start with a conversation to understand your vision, the problem you're solving, and why you're the right team to solve it.
Deep Dive
If there's mutual interest, we dive deeper—market analysis, technical due diligence, reference calls. We apply our risk lens to understand the opportunity.
Decision
We make decisions quickly and communicate clearly. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you why and try to be helpful regardless.
Partnership
Post-investment, we're active but not overbearing partners. We're available when you need us and stay out of the way when you don't.
Building Something Exceptional?
If you're a technical founder solving real problems in AI infrastructure, real estate technology, or B2B software, we'd love to hear from you.
