Consumer behavior is evolving with increasing speed, and new startup activity is accelerating to match.

The decentralization of startup world is also increasing. With communities moving online and away from the Bay Area, tomorrow's unicorns will be built in cities like Los Angeles, Austin, Miami, Dallas and Chicago.

We have lived, hired, and invested in cities across America. Our deep ties to local tech scenes position us to thrive in a more decentralized tech ecosystem.
