GET CONNECTED WITH PEOPLE THAT CAN GROW YOUR BUSINESS

Scale your outreach


More than your traditional VC Fund.


Having closely worked with founders (and being founders ourselves,) we truly understand the challenges of scaling a company. We see ourselves more as engaged sparring partners, especially when it comes to scaling technology, recruiting efforts, and accelerating value creation.


We partner with inspirational leaders, founders, and brands that fit our investment philosophy of collaborating to win.


Collaborate to win

We bring our personal experiences, network, and expertise to transform your ideas into action. We collaborate across borders with founders and investors so we can unite both capital and know-how to accelerate growth while scaling in a way that’s sustainable. Because we believe that doing good for the planet and making more money aren’t mutually exclusive.


Are we a match?

Meet the team


We come from diverse walks of life, but we all share the same values: collaboration, transparency, and pragmatism. And of course, we pair that with a straightforward mentality.
Given the long-term nature of our commitment, our primary aim is to build long-lasting companies, not just valuations.
