Our Approach

We look for founders leveraging unique data to solve substantial enterprise challenges

We focus on enterprise technology and data selling into Financial Services, but also seek opportunities in other industry verticals where Financial Services can play a critical role as a customer or partner. We provide support around product and sales strategy and connect teams to Banks, Broker Dealers, Asset Managers, Hedge Funds, Insurance Companies, and other Financial Institutions. We typically invest between $250K to $2M into Seed and Series A stage companies that have unique data assets and some degree of revenue or traction.
