We look for entrepreneurs that apply technology in unexpected ways. We gravitate
toward people that tell a story around a crystalized vision and exude the
thoughtfulness and vitality needed to challenge the status quo.
Founders succeed when they’ve connected the dots, know their visions can succeed,
and relentlessly pursue their objectives. Whether your idea saves lives,
connects people, or makes things faster, easier, or less expensive, when
customers are keenly aware they are better off because of you,
scaling your business flows naturally.
We like to be the first investor
after family and friends. As goals are
achieved, we’ll help find additional
financial partners.
We will support your planning,
business development,
roadmap strategy, brand identity,
and messaging efforts.
We can help with Web and
mobile design, architecture,
full stack software development,
and project management.
