Our Work
Build, grow and scale your next venture
with us.
We provide financial capital, human capital and venture-building expertise for idea & early-stage startups to validate, build and enter the global markets.
THE PROBLEM
Most startups fail pre-seed, why?
1
Poor access to high quality talent
You want to hire people who have domain expertise and can hit the ground running. The best people are either already working for funded startups or are running their own business.
2
Lack of a financial runway
It is reasonably hard to keep experimenting and trying new things when you’re strapped for cash. You need to be able to focus solely on solving high-value problems.
3
No venture-building support
Venture building allows entrepreneurs to pursue ambitious and innovative ideas that traditional venture capital may not support.
