We invest in AI/ML, Fintech, and Future of Work.
We believe value creation is just as important as valuation.

Three key domains anchor our fund thesis. We chose these domains because they underpin the rapidly evolving definition of the workforce:
AI/ML targeting social systemic issues will help identify, analyze and address inequities in every aspect of society, e.g., parity of policing all communities or racial bias training in VR.
Fintech/Insurtech innovation provides access to tools, opportunities and learnings to grow wealth in underserved communities.
Future of Work describes changes in how work will get done over the next decade, influenced by technological, generational and social shifts. Creating opportunities for people across the workforce to be upwardly mobile.
We support our founders with hands-on mentoring to scale at the speed of venture. We use our network to build valuable connections - from future investors, to prospective customers, to critical dev talent. We're not just investors, we're part of your team.
