Lawrence has been investing advising, and accelerating the growth of early-stage companies since 1997.

Flycast went public in 1999 raising $75M and then sold in 2000 for a reported $2.2B.

Don and Larry started working together in late 2015, and have continued to grow their foothold as leading investors in the XR industry.

"I plan to invest in roughly 1-2 companies per year, we are highly selective. I would rather wait an entire 3 years before deploying, I don't believe in the pray and spray model for myself. I'm specifically looking for AR/VR companies I can fund and then plug my network into for rocket fuel revenue acceleration, or partnership growth." -Don

"I view myself as an operator when I invest, I want to own more and add more, this is why I've chosen to only fund 1-2 companies per year." -Don
