Our Approach

How We Select Investments

Our portfolio is not built by following trends — it is built by identifying the founders and technologies that will define the next era of cybersecurity and AI before the market reaches consensus.

Early & Decisive

We write seed checks when the product is still in development and the market category may not yet fully exist. Early conviction allows us to build the most meaningful relationships with our founders.

High Conviction, Concentrated

We do not diversify our way to returns. We make a small number of high-conviction investments each year so we can allocate meaningful time and resources to each portfolio company.

Follow-on Ready

We reserve significant capital to follow on in our best companies through multiple rounds, maintaining our position and signaling continued commitment as companies scale.

Building the Next Security Company?

We are actively seeking seed-stage investments in cybersecurity and AI. If you are building something significant, we want to be your first institutional partner.
