This is venture capital with a difference.

We back companies with our capital and our expertise in strategy, marketing, comms, digital, data and technology.

Our interests and economics are entirely aligned with our partners so we succeed when our founders succeed.

We believe if you cannot invent the future, the best course of action is to fund it and help make it happen.
