Services, Venture Capital
Venture Capital
We back startups with our own capital, not a fund we're managing on someone else's behalf. We're sector-agnostic by design; we'd rather meet a strong team and an interesting problem than filter people out before we've talked to them.
Open to any sector, genuinely
We invest as principal: the capital that goes into a startup is our own, committed directly, not raised from outside investors and deployed on their behalf. That matters because it means we can decide on our own terms and move at our own pace, without answering to a fund committee.
We don't run a thesis that only works for one kind of company. We've looked seriously at software, hardware, consumer products, industrial technology, healthcare-adjacent ventures, climate and energy, and plenty of things that don't fit neatly into a category. If you're building something and can explain clearly why it matters, we want to hear about it; sector labels are a starting point for the conversation, not a gate before it.
Stages we consider
What a ticket looks like
We size each participation to the company and the round, not to a fixed template. As a general indication (not a promise or a commitment), our tickets tend to fall in a range that suits a meaningful minority position in an early or growth round, structured as newly issued shares or, where appropriate, a convertible instrument. We'd rather discuss the actual number with you directly than publish a figure that doesn't fit your situation.
What we bring beyond the cheque
Picture a small engineering team that has built a working prototype and now needs to industrialise it: hire the next ten people, tighten up the product, and get in front of the customers who will actually pay for it. That's the moment we're most useful: not just capital, but a sounding board on hiring, positioning, and the next twelve months of decisions. We stay close without getting in the way: a seat at the table when it's useful, and out of your inbox when it isn't.
