We invest where technological shifts meet structural bottlenecks
Quantum
We invest in the next chapter of quantum computing: turning demonstrated error correction into thousands of reliable logical qubits.
Photonics
As AI systems scale, light plays a growing role from connecting chips to powering computation. We back the companies advancing this shift and solving the bottlenecks along the way.
Software
As software takes on the work itself, it competes for labor budgets. We back the founders who understand that work best and the infrastructure that makes it possible.

We Build
Built by operators, not observers.
Our partners built, scaled and led global software companies, engineering teams, enterprise sales and international operations. We managed through downturns as operators. Today, that experience goes directly to our founders.

We back
We were investors long before we became a fund.
For two decades, we invested as angels and anchor LPs in deep tech and enterprise software. We know what a first round has to prove, how a syndicate forms, and which investors stay when a plan slips. When a company needs its next investor or buyer, we already know the right people.

We understand
We invest in technology that has to be understood before it can be funded.
We read the research, assess the science ourselves and stay close to the people advancing each field. Our network runs through leading research groups, universities and technical communities. We understand the science early and can tell the difference between a breakthrough and a good story.

From deep tech to real progress
We read your papers first
We come to the first meeting having read your papers, not just your deck.
We move on technical risk
Where our own technical work resolves the risk, we move early. Where it doesn't, we wait for the milestone.
Your next round starts now
We build your next round before you open it.
We fill the empty seat
When your company is missing a CEO, CTO or chairman, we don't advise you to hire one. We find them.
We land the first customer
We bring the first customer, not the introduction.
