We Engineer
Serendipity

We do everything we can to improve the probability of success.

We bring perspectives, contacts and capital to put early-stage Entrepreneurs in a position to experience results even greater than they might have imagined.

That's our superpower.

That's our definition of engineering serendipity.

We do it for the fun of it. We do it for the money. And along the way, we all get infinitely better at who we are and what we do.

OUR
process
What we look for

Investments where we can imagine making 10 times our money within 10 years before dilution. 

who we work with

Entrepreneurs who we feel have CICRRR (Coachability, Integrity, Chemistry, Responsiveness, Resourcefulness and Resilience).

How We Decide

We consult our colleagues, build a simple financial model as a sanity check and make a Yes, No or Not Yet decision within a week.

Ongoing Support

Bad news is critical. Good news is optional. We beg to hear bad news immediately since our experience and incredible colleagues can generally mitigate the toughest problems.

WHAT We DO not invest in

Donec malesuada sem sit amet mi consequat fringilla. Aenean efficitur erat ut lectus tristique, sit amet maximus neque placerat.

Maecenas est metus, malesuada et justo non, congue imperdiet massa. Pellentesque accumsan molestie elit, nec venenatis dui viverra quis. Ut varius, magna vitae varius varius, mi nisi pellentesque erat, a condimentum libero metus et justo.

“Far better to be in a bad business with great people than in a great business with bad people. Good people will eventually figure things out. Bad people will eventually choke a golden goose.”
