Frequently Asked Questions

What is your preferred ownership target?

Flexible, typically targeting 5–15% ownership for direct early-stage investments, depending on stage, valuation, investment size, and strategic involvement. Open to minority investments, co-investments, and structured strategic partnerships.

What is your typical due diligence process?

We follow a founder-friendly, commercially focused due diligence process: 1. Initial founder discussion and investment thesis alignment. 2. Business model, market opportunity, and competitive positioning assessment. 3. Product, traction, financial performance, and unit economics review. 4. Founder/team assessment, legal and cap table review. 5. Investment structuring and final decision. We prioritize commercial validation, capital efficiency, founder execution capability, and scalable growth potential. Our diligence is AI-assisted but decisions remain human-led.

What is your average time from first meeting to decision?

We aim to provide an initial investment decision within 7–14 days for straightforward opportunities. Complex investments, acquisitions, or structured transactions may require 30–60 days, depending on due diligence and approvals.

What do you expect from founders after investing?

We value transparency, integrity, disciplined execution, and proactive communication. We expect founders to maintain clear KPIs, provide regular business and financial updates, manage capital responsibly, and remain focused on customer value, revenue growth, and long-term enterprise value creation. We support ambitious founders while respecting their operational independence.

Do you take board seats?

Case by case. We generally prefer to support founders through strategic advisory roles or board observer positions. For larger or more actively managed investments, we may consider board representation where appropriate.

Do you reserve capital for follow-on rounds?

Follow-on investment is considered case by case, subject to performance, available capital, investment mandate, and strategic fit. We also help portfolio companies prepare for subsequent funding rounds and connect with potential co-investors.

Do you invest in solo founders?

Yes. We believe exceptional founders can emerge from any team structure. We evaluate solo founders based on execution ability, domain expertise, customer traction, leadership, and their capacity to attract talent and build a strong organization.
