It is never too early to get in touch, even if you are not ready to raise. We invest in people first and foremost, so the more we get to know each other, the better. We invest at every phase between a PowerPoint and Series A. The best way to get in touch is through a mutual contact, but a thoughtful email or LinkedIn message works as well.
We primarily invest in B2B companies at pre-seed stage and seed-stage, and we’re usually becoming the first institutional check into the business. We also invest at the Series A stage, although less frequently.
Our typical check size for seed rounds ranges from $500k to $3M USD, and we like to lead or co-lead rounds. Sometimes we invest as followers with a lower initial check, but with the optionality to invest more later on. For Series A, the typical investment size ranges from $2-5M.
