How we invest, make decisions and start making your dreams a reality

We invest across pre-seed/seed. We invest as early as an idea stage and as late as $1.5M ARR.

We are sector-agnostic within tech. We invest in B2B SaaS, B2C software, hardware, and deeptech.

- We only invest in C-corporations in the US, and only in companies for which the US is a key market.  
- We are looking for founders that are immigrants to the US (from anywhere in the world). In exceptional cases we consider future immigrants.
- Within the US, we consider all localities.

We invest $100K-$500K as the first check, and may follow-on up to $3M in the most promising startups.

We typically don’t lead priced rounds; we can kickstart SAFE rounds.

- Application: Startup submits an application / we receive a warm intro.
- Review (0-2 weeks): Evaluation of potential fit.
- First call: We schedule the first call to get to know each other.
- Due diligence (1-3 weeks): In-depth analysis of the startup's team, market, competition, financials, unit economics, achievements.
- Investment committee (1 week): Discussion of the opportunity in front of the investment committee. 
- Further discussion (1-3 weeks): We ask additional questions and schedule another call if needed.
- Offer: If we're interested, we make an offer.
