The firm has invested over $150MM in early to growth-stage startups in the technology sector. The focus of the firm has been to invest in early-stage companies in Silicon Valley and selectively in growth-stage deals.The firm investment model leverages a significant network of syndicate leads who essentially serve as the firm's distributed GP network and combined with proprietary machine learning, the firm sources the deal-flow and then does follow-on investing in top emerging names from that early stage portfolio
