First in
Long after

In at the start. Around for the arc.

01 First in We write the first institutional VC cheque — Seed and Pre-Series A — into a handful of founders each year. Before the deck is polished or the market has named the problem.
02 Long after Our first cheque is a beginning, not a position. We follow on through Series A, B and C — keeping the seat we earned at the start.
03 Aligned, not just invested Capital is the easy part. Showing up through the unfashionable quarters, the hard pivots, and the founder calls at odd hours — that is the actual job.
04 Conviction, not coverage The homework on the market is done before the meeting, not after. We don't reverse-engineer conviction from a charismatic deck. We are thesis-forward.
05 Lead. Not follow We lead the round — set terms, take the board seat, and put our name first on the cap table. If we're in, we're in deep enough to be accountable for the outcome.

We've been founders. We've been operators. We've been the second call after the first one didn't go well.
