/how we invest/
-
We prefer warm introductions with our founders. BUT, we know that every founder might not have the right network to get them through the door. If you haven't been introduced to us, then we highly encourage you to apply here.
We evaluate ALL applications with equal fairness. We suggest you put some thought and effort into your application. Remember, your application is the only thing we can use to gauge the potential of your company and you as the founders — so make it count!
If we find there is a strong alignment, we will contact you on the provided email address and set up a meeting to proceed.
-
Typically we will arrange a virtual meeting with all of our founders at the first instance. This is efficient for both parties and allows us to do a round of meet-and-greets.
Our objective is simple here; find out more about who you are! We want to know your background, story, and the reason why you're doing this. We'll have a few questions along the way, but our main goal is to form long-lasting relationships, so be honest with us and we'll do the same.
Expect our meeting durations between 60-90 mins
Note: There might be exceptions where we will decide to meet in person. This will depend on what you're building i.e. hardware etc. and/or your location.
-
Soon after the meeting, we'll request a few materials from you so we can take some time to review your product/service, the team, and the company's potential.
We like to review your deck, financials, roadmap, and even play with your MVP (if available) during this review period.We will try to provide feedback within 5 business days.
-
This step is optional, but this might include us following up with you including follow-up questions or meeting your extended team for a quick call.
-
This is where most of the action takes place for us in the background.
This process will differ depending on the context of the business. But in general, this step is a requirement for us to ensure you are who you say you are. We want to make sure that we're dealing with founders we can trust and who are completely transparent with what they're building.
We may contact you if we have any questions.
Expect around 10 business days.
-
If we're happy with what we see, then we'll reach out to finalize the deal terms with you and your team, including capital size, valuation, equity, follow-on expectations (if any) and any others if applicable.
-
If everything goes to plan and all terms have been agreed upon, we'll wire the capital and begin introducing you to some of our friends and strategic partners to help you along on your journey!
You’ll also be featured on our newsletter and/or podcast to get the word out on how amazing you are and what you’re building!
