We’re not your typical investor. Our team is all previous SaaS founders and early operators, and we work 1-to-1 with every founder in our portfolio and program, becoming an extension of their team. We pride ourselves on the level of support we provide, as well as our GTM expertise and focused approach to helping founders build. We also have a huge B2B SaaS founder community of 900+ founders, which we know how important it is on the founder journey.
