Businesses that establish powerful network effects early on generate outsized results. They offer scalability, expansion opportunities into complementary businesses, and deep defensibility through high switching costs in winner-take-most markets.

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

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