About
We are an early-stage venture group that makes seed investments in promising founders and their businesses. Our typical investment size is between $25,000-$100,000.
We operate in the angel space mostly, but we take our role and our relationships seriously - we are a professional group that does real due diligence, operates with transparency and integrity, and cares about getting to know you. For more information, see How We Invest.
