Offering Support for the Whole Startup Lifecycle

What We Look For

We invest in companies with a revenue-generating SaaS or AI component at the core of the business. The industry matters less than the engine. A gut health company with real SaaS revenue is a fit. A software company with no revenue is not.

We have backed cloud infrastructure, MSP software, legal AI, healthcare, consumer marketplaces, and vertical SaaS. What they share is recurring software revenue, not a category.

Investment Criteria

US-based companies. At least $1,000 in MRR or 100 customers.

Companies outside the US. At least $10,000 in MRR. We invest internationally, but the bar is higher because we are less able to be hands-on.

Every company. A revenue-generating SaaS or AI component central to the business, not bolted on.

Stages

Pre-seed. Our core. Up to $100K. First check, usually before anyone else.

Seed. $250K to $500K. Founder coaching, go-to-market, early customer acquisition, team building.

Series A. Selectively, for companies we know or where the software engine is proven and the round is priced sensibly.
