Marketplaces offer extraordinary opportunities to transform nearly every sector - when these types of business are successful they generate outsized results.
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.
Criteria
We invest in Pre-Seed and Seed stage companies - we look for tenacious founders with ambitious visions for the future.
