Focus

THE NEXT FRONTIER

Our core belief is that technologies that are truly valuable will emerge, be adopted, and create value for consumers, providers, and investors.

We co-operate the enterprises that we invest in—we are nimble and make decisions quickly and support and sometimes temporarily co-manage portfolio companies until they are at a stage where they become self- sufficient. We then help them raise additional capital as an advocate, participant, or lead in subsequent financing rounds.
