Selected Portfolio
Companies
We'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.
We 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.
If 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.
