"We are open to hearing new ideas without immediate judgment. We invest in teams that inspire us and ideas we can't stop thinking about."

Our Investment Philosophy

v0 Early Stage

We write small checks to get involved as early as possible. We believe the greatest impact and returns come from supporting founders from day one.

Curious People

We invest in people more than just financial outcomes. The founder's vision, passion, and ability to execute are top of mind. We have a bias towards immigrants and tech founders.

Ideas That Can Change The World

We only invest in massive market opportunities with the potential to transform industries. We're looking for founders tackling the worlds largest problems with a contrarian view.

Sharing The Journey

We're motivated by the thrill of building alongside exceptional founders. Your victories are our victories, and we're committed to being there through every challenge and triumph.

Things Founders Ask

Get in Touch

We back founders early. But more importantly, we help them before they need money. Got a challenge? Message Nuno or Thom on WhatsApp.
