WE ARE VENTURE BUILDERS We accelerate and mature high potential early-stage startups into investable and market-ready businesses (Idea, pre-Seed and Seed stages).

WE ARE ANGEL INVESTORS With an holistic approach to funding, we are typically the first investor in early-stage startups that require much more than financial capital to grow and scale.
