Shaping the future of startups
Unleashing potential with capital, revenue generation, and focused growth, we look to build startup ecosystems and enhance innovation across undervalued industry verticals and geographies.
What we look for
Each year our team attends countless pitch events, hosts multiple contests, conducts weekly campus visits, and combs through thousands of startups, all in an effort to find the perfect companies for our portfolio. We are always looking to invest in the best projects. As such, we don’t play favorites. We welcome all founders, backgrounds, markets, verticals and industries.
We evaluate companies from all industries, but we only invest in opportunities where we can add tremendous value.

For 5 years, we've leveraged AI and machine learning to refine investment sourcing and evaluation. This strategy reduces bias, boosts consistency, and enhances our data-driven process.

How we invest
We invest in undervalued founders, markets, geographies, and industries. We actively seek out entrepreneurs who have developed disruptive solutions and competitive advantages with early signs of traction and user adoption. We prioritize traction and merit over all other things. In terms of founders – it doesn’t matter where you went to school, where you worked, who you know in our network, or what you look like. It only matters what you’ve built, how it’s progressed, and whether we can help you succeed.

How we work with startups
We are extremely active and highly engaged investors. Our goal is to help our founders overcome all of their early-stage challenges. With past success in sales, product development, staffing, strategy, operations, and fundraising, we have the ability to dramatically improve outcomes within our portfolio. In addition to our initial capital investment, our portfolio teams receive access to:
Our network of over 400 industry leaders, political insiders and subject matter experts, work with entrepreneurs to refine strategies, make introductions and maximize growth.
We assist teams in raising follow-on capital. Our investor network includes thousands of funds, angel groups, family offices and ultra-high net worth individual investors.
We work with experts and consultants specializing in software and product development. Specialists in AI, robotics, QA, telecommunications, and security are also available.
We have a trusted manufacturing network that can assist with all aspects of design, modeling, BOM analysis, tooling, line modification, testing, certification, assembly and packaging.
Each year, we host “startup boot camps” for our founders to improve product dev, growth hacking, market development, sales, operations, monetization and capitalization.
Our founders and our alumni networks work hard to help one another. These relationships last forever, offer tremendous value, and provide a shared knowledge base.
