Process
A clear answer,
quickly.
Fundraising costs founders the one thing they cannot buy back: time. We run a process designed to give you a real decision fast, and an honest reason either way.
Investment process
Two weeks, start to finish.
No committees you cannot see. No silence after the second meeting. A yes with terms, or a no with reasons.
-
Day 0
Introduction
Send a short note and a deck, or ask a founder we work with for a warm intro. Every inbound is read by a partner.
-
Day 1–3
First conversation
Sixty minutes on the problem, the insight and the team. We share our honest read before we hang up.
-
Day 4–8
Deep dive
A working session with the full partnership, a look at the product, and a handful of reference calls we agree on together.
-
Day 9–12
Decision
A yes with terms, or a no with reasons. Either way you hear it directly from the partner who met you first.
-
Day 13+
Partnership
Recruiting, customers, follow-on strategy and the unglamorous work in between — for as long as you are building.

No warm introduction required. We read every submission ourselves.
