We back visionary founders striving to solve the world’s most pressing problems in large addressable markets. We invest globally at the early stage (Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A) primarily in sustainability, fintech, enterprise, and consumer.
At the highest level, when we are evaluating sustainability investments, we look for companies that either reduce sources of GHG emissions, eliminate existing GHG emissions, or offset GHG emissions. We believe that over the coming decades, the extent of the changes brought by digital technology will also transform all aspects of the physical world, and diligent investing in sustainability will not only save the world but also bring outsized returns to our investors.
Software has been reshaping the world. It will continue to disrupt existing industries and create new markets by solving issues of efficiency, scalability, accessibility through AI, VR/AR, and blockchain.
Democratization of access to information, investing, and banking have been one of the major trends driving today’s markets. Retail investing and neobanks showed huge success during the last decade. The advancement of blockchain technology took this trend even further by allowing a transparent digital economy where software can run by itself, and individuals can interact freely to own, transact, and govern entities without the need for an intermediary. We believe these advancements will reshape how we work, save, invest, socialize, and essentially redistribute the power to the individuals within a community.
Customers have been shying away from big players and turning to digital-first brands that resonate with their own ethical values. These brands are authentic, relatable, trustworthy, and driven by a community rather than pure performance marketing and ads. With the enablement of the ownership economy and the fading line between online and offline experiences through the ‘metaverse’, both B2C and B2B relationships will continue to evolve with new ways for businesses to interact with and get to know their customers via software.
We envision a future where smart, sustainable, and connected urban spaces intersect with the digital world. We invest in the infrastructure for such a future, as well as the demands of an ownership economy that accompanies this vision.
We source deals from our global network, open founder applications, and internal research. We will syndicate the majority of our deals.
