Having a small fund and limited portfolio means our business model is aligned with yours. We are not about moving $ tonnage, pushing for large financings or imposing unrealistic expectations. You put enough pressure on yourself. Our job is to help you relieve pressure and realize the full potential of your business.

We believe time is the element which matters most in our relationship with you. We make few investments per year and dedicate decidedly more time working with our existing portfolio than on looking at new companies. Time is what allows us to proactively help you in ways you want but did not expect. Time is what creates trust and understanding when your business encounters turbulence. Time is what allows us to apply decades of operational scar tissue tailored to help you resolve your thorniest problems.

We invest in early stage (seed, Series A, occasional Series B) business to business software companies. We don’t do consumer, telecom infrastructure, pure hardware or large capital projects. We look for potential market-making companies that leverage a wide range of next generation platforms, such as Mobile Enterprise, Internet of Things, Micro Services/Containers, Vertical SAAS, FinTech, Software Defined Networking, Hybrid Clouds, and Blockchain Applications.

There are few venture firms with our executive professional network presence linking Silicon Valley to Seattle’s home of Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. Our business development relationships up the Pacific Northwest down to South of Market San Francisco and to Santa Clara and San Jose enable our startups to get high impact distribution channel partnerships and an elite staffing pipeline that’s available to very few startups.
