Technical founders backing technical founders

We love entrepreneurship and working alongside founders to support their vision. We’ve been called "nice and nerdy" and to that we say: (x2 + y2 - 1)3 = x2y3

We invest early in technical teams transforming major industries

We target sectors facing both existential threats and tremendous opportunities – healthcare, logistics, real estate, manufacturing, and other essential industries where technical innovation can solve critical problems.

We love seeing what people can create

Our partners were founders of billion-dollar companies and foundational AI infrastructure (including Common Crawl, which powers today's leading AI models). Our experience as founders shapes how we invest: as a team, offering the right support at the right time.
