We direct our investment efforts toward Seed and early-stage ventures, specifically those with a validated Minimum Viable Product (MVP) or initial market traction. This focus aligns well with our value investing approach, allowing us to identify promising ventures at stages where they are most receptive to capital influx. While our commitment is chiefly financial, we can offer strategic and operational insights on an as-needed basis.

While our investment approach is generally sector-agnostic, we almost exclusively target software-centric companies, particularly those developing digital health solutions and decentralized data management frameworks that employ privacy-preserving technologies such as zero-knowledge proofs. This focus allows us to identify companies that align closely with our interests and are well-positioned to make a significant impact in these rapidly evolving sectors.

Our standard investment check size ranges from $50,000 to $150,000 for Seed and early-stage rounds. However, it's worth noting that this range is flexible and tailored to align with the specific needs of the company, its stage of development, and the intended use of funds. In addition to initial investments, we often earmark capital for follow-on rounds to support long-term growth and value creation.

While we typically do not lead Seed and Bridge funding rounds, opting instead to be a smaller check in larger investment pools ranging from $1 million to $3 million, there are exceptions. Specifically, we are open to leading Pre-Seed rounds where the capital requirements for product validation or MVP development are lower. Our extensive partnership ecosystem, featuring entities that often lead rounds, allows us to make follow-on contributions that are both strategic and aligned with our investment focus.

We begin our evaluation by focusing on the founding team, looking for technical proficiency, a well-articulated vision, and a compelling strategy for solving complex problems. We place high importance on leadership qualities like synergy, clarity, and conviction. Next, we examine the business fundamentals, assessing the company's competitive advantage and its potential for impact in large and growing markets. For more information on our due diligence process, feel free to contact our team. While not every venture aligns with our specific areas of interest, we maintain a strong network of partners and are open to making introductions when it makes sense. Our team is committed to transparent, efficient, and respectful communication, aiming to make rapid yet considered decisions to assist entrepreneurs in their fundraising journeys.
