Criteria Overview
We are looking to invest in teams that are
A great team
We are looking for remarkable teams that have a solid vision, the skills to get there, and the resolve to break through brick walls
Early Stage Companies
We prefer to enter at the seed and Series A to B rounds, as we believe we can add the most value there. We support founders in raising follow-on capital from other VCs for subsequent rounds.
Demonstrable Traction
While our criteria differ from industry to industry, we look for companies that can demonstrate early product-market fit. This means your team has moved beyond the idea stage and has compelling data that proves your early users/customers want what you are offering.
Big Markets
We fund companies with the potential for gigantic growth. We look for startups that serve large, multi-billion dollar total addressable markets (TAMs).
Local and Global Reach
We like companies that can tap into international markets, with a potential to serve customers globally. Though we are based in New York, we invest globally. We are looking to fund companies across the globe, and we are always looking to expand into new countries.
Transparency of operations
Trust is a two-way street. We strive to provide direct and honest feedback and expect up-front transparency from our investee companies.
