For founders
A partner who builds with you
We invest, design, and ship alongside founders who value disciplined execution and premium product experiences.
Who this page is for
Founders and operators who want an investor-operator at the table. We are direct, practical partners who ship products and expect accountability from ourselves and from the teams we back.
- Strong technical or product DNA with a clear initial wedge.
- Evidence of real customer insight and willingness to ship quickly.
- Preference for thoughtful, sustainable growth over hype cycles.
- Comfort with instrumentation, governance, and disciplined economics.
- Desire for a partner who brings design, engineering, and GTM support.
- Openness to candid feedback and decisive action in weekly rituals.
Working together
What working with us feels like
Structured, hands-on partnership with builders who respect your time.
Direct feedback, no theater
We keep meetings short and decision-oriented. Expect clear recommendations and transparent trade-offs.
Real product work every week
Studio builders pair with your team on architecture, UX, data, and GTM assets. We ship together and measure impact.
Access to operators and builders
Hands-on leaders across product, design, engineering, and revenue operations—available for working sessions, not just intros.
Calm, disciplined launches
Security, observability, and support plans are set before release. Customers experience confident, thoughtful rollouts.
What we don’t do
Clear guardrails keep the relationship productive and honest. We protect your time and ours by focusing on work that moves the product and business forward.
- We don’t spray small checks without involvement.
- We don’t do tourist projects or short-lived experiments without a path to production.
- We don’t tolerate sloppy data practices or ungoverned deployments.
- We don’t overpromise—every milestone is measurable and accountable.
