Where We Invest
Building & Investing
We’re early-stage investors with a long-term view.
Pre-seed, seed and incubation
The majority of our time and capital is dedicated to the earliest stage of new venture development where we partner with entrepreneurs who share our singular focus on the FIRE economy.
Plus-rounds and secondaries
We understand that the path to Fintech success isn’t always up and to the right, and have the scars that remind us how difficult start-ups are. Pivots and re-starts are often part of the journey. We invest to support later-stage teams when more runway is needed for launch or additional investment will accelerate progress.
Special Purpose Acquisition Companies
Our partners and LPs are active investors in fintech-focused Special Purpose Acquisition Companies that have successfully combined with fintech leaders ready for their next stage of growth as public companies.
