Founders helping founders
We’ve been there. As founders ourselves we know what it takes to find great talent, hit metrics, raise money, and how to stay sane throughout. Collectively we have founded 28 companies, raised over $600M in venture capital, and hired thousands of team members. As investors, we have supported over 100 new companies across multiple sectors that have raised hundreds of millions in follow-on capital. We’re excited to share what we’ve learned along the way.
Portfolio Highlights

We invested behind Stella Kim and Frederic Dijols at the pre-seed stage to create MixLab and deliver the best care possible for your furry friends. Because when your pets are healthy, we're all happier.
