WHAT WE LOOK FOR
We love to work with global technical founders who hustle, who have achieved product-market fit in their local / regional market, who have ideally bootstrapped their companies to this point and who are:.
Product DrivenWe're interested in companies which have created innovative, sticky products that have achieved traction with paying customers. Recurring SaaS revenues with low churn is the perfect fit.
|
ScrappyWe love to work with tenacious founders, especially those who have bootstrapped their companies, operate at the highest level of integrity, and are both visionary and data driven.
|
Seeking Global ExpansionOnce you’ve demonstrated product-market fit in your local / regional market, you should be well positioned for US expansion and/or a sell-side process. This is when we step in to accelerate US market access, whether for business growth or an M&A process.
|
Partner OrientedIf you are a lone wolf, it’s not a good fit. We are seeking great founders who seek both hands-on assistance and investment. We will bring skills that complement each other and our interests will be completely aligned.
