The changing nature of business models in the information economy demands new approaches to investing. As seasoned operators with successful exits across a variety of industries, we consider ourselves entrepreneurial capitalists, not quants. We have a deep understanding of the traits that make for successful founding teams. We leverage our operational expertise to help portfolio companies scale value creation and meet market demands. At the same time, we believe that technologically sophisticated methods are crucial to fully tap into the information firehose created by globally interconnected startup ecosystems. We balance the use of automation and machine learning in the scouting process with intensive diligence and operational advising to ensure we have the right information to predict and guide startup success. Ultimately, we've designed our tools and processes to democratize the venture capital industry and empower entrepreneurship by increasing transparency between founders and the investor community.
