Q: Where do you invest?
We believe exceptional companies are built everywhere and have no geographical restrictions. We’ve made investments across five continents so far and continue to invest globally.
Q: What do you invest in?
We take a generalist approach and aren’t afraid to invest in teams building undreamed-of things on the fringe.
The 21st century will be one of humanity’s most dynamic yet, and new world-beating companies are being built across sectors; our past investments have ranged from orbital manufacturing and zero-carbon aviation to gaming and consumer.
Q: How long does your investment process take?
We hate wasting a founder's time and aim to go from the first meeting to a decision in less than four weeks. We currently average just shy of two weeks to make a final decision, and the process can, in some situations, stretch i.e., we need you to meet with an expert in our network.
Q: Do you lead rounds?
We’re happy to be the first money-in on a SAFE or other convertible; however, we rarely lead priced rounds.

What Does Your Process Look Like?
Step 1:
One or two founder calls to learn about the team, product, business model, etc. Occasionally, we'll ask you to meet with a domain expert in our network.
Step 2:
Associates are assigned for deeper diligence. They'll organize additional calls, dive deep on specific areas the your business, perform market and trend analysis, and provide their final feedback and recommendation to the investment committee.
