We provide the first institutional investment with checks between USD 250K and 6M, and pro-rata support in follow-on rounds.
Check size: USD 250K – 6M
Equity investment is the beginning of our relationship, not the end. We write our checks standing on the same side as founders, with reasonable valuations and simple terms.
How we invest
- Pre-seed: USD 250–600K; from idea stage to first prototype and customer discovery
- Seed: USD 600K – 1.5M; MVP, first revenue and pilots
- Series A: USD 2–6M; companies with proven product-market fit and recurring revenue
Our terms
We use a standard term sheet: a 1x non-participating liquidation preference, broad-based weighted average anti-dilution protection and four-year founder vesting. There are no hidden or aggressive clauses; you can review our term sheet in the Reports and Documents section.
Reserve policy
Fifty percent of Fund III is set aside for pro-rata in follow-on rounds. In other words, we continue to support the growth of startups with proven performance alongside new investors.
For more about our criteria, see the Investment Approach page.
