Conviction over consensus.
We look for technologies capable of creating enduring networks, markets and infrastructure. Our investment decisions are guided by three principles:
Early
We are comfortable investing before a category becomes obvious.
Long-term
We invest with a multi-cycle perspective rather than optimizing for short-term market sentiment.
Aligned
We seek long-term relationships with founders, developers and ecosystems where our capital and experience can make a meaningful difference.
