Investment Team

As global entrepreneurs & operating executives with experience in building great companies in multiple industries, we have a particularly hands-on approach. We work closely with each portfolio company (pre and post-funding), founders and executives to develop the team, technology, commercial strategy. We seek to build a network of advisors, key opinion leaders & future investors to ensure the success and long term growth of the company we work with.
