We back proven operators.

From cold calls to customer support tickets, design reviews to weekly sprints, and managing changes to building teams, we’ve been there.

We know that the specialists and the generalists who come in and up-level everything around them are the backbone of any successful company.

As operators ourselves, we know how to spot this kind of talent. When they get the founder itch themselves, we want to be first in line to rally around them.

We are operators ourselves.

Our General Partner and Advisors were early to join companies like Cruise, Opendoor, and Block (Square), and helped them scale to new levels.

We have been both individual contributors and org leaders in Design, Engineering, Product, HR, Marketing, and PR.

We are here for the grit and the grind and want to support founders as they scale from the earliest stages.
