Our Standard Checks
As exclusively early-stage investors, we typically are the first, or one of the first institutional checks in a round.
We’ve seen some confusion around “pre-seed” and “seed” labels when fundraising. Some founders associate pre-seed/seed with the size of the round, while others associate it with company progress (revenue, users, etc…).
We don’t really care what the round is called, as long as the team demonstrates they have the ability to create at a rapid pace and the ability to learn quickly from their customers.
Here are some areas of interest as of 2025 that we are excited about:
Generally, our checks take one of two forms:
- As a lead or co-lead in a pre-seed round of <$1M.
- As a co-lead or smaller co-investor in rounds of $1M-5M
In both cases, our typical check size is $250k-500k.
Apply for funding
The thing we care about most is curiousity, velocity of learning and building. You need to have an exceptional obsession with a problem space and want to will an idea into existence. You don’t need to have started a company yet or have a product to apply for funding, we’re comfortable navigating the 0-1 with new founders or serial founders looking for a consistent sounding board in their early discovery phase.
