I partner with the world’s most ambitious founders and fund managers at the absolute formation stage—often when they are deemed "too early," "too unconventional," or "too complex" by the broader market. As a high-conviction thought and capital partner, I am built to be the first check, the anchor, and frequently the only investor willing to step forward when the thesis is still unproven.Over the past two decades, this approach has given me the privilege of quietly supporting some of the teams that have helped shape the modern venture landscape:The Managers: Partnered with over 150 elite fund managers as their first institutional backer—including early, foundational bets on franchises like Initialized Capital, Founders Fund, Accel India, and Entrepreneur First.The Founders: Directly and indirectly backed a portfolio of over 600 category-defining companies, supporting technical builders from inception to scale: Xanadu, Hubble, Moneyview, Drip, Groq, Sunbit, Foundation Health. How I Partner:For Emerging Managers: I don't just allocate capital; I help you design the franchise. I act as an institutional anchor, helping you refine your thesis, structure your first vehicle, and unlock the institutional LP ecosystem.For Visionary Founders: I skip the committee process. If your ambition is massive and your technical edge is real, I provide the early belief and institutional runway required to build unconstrained.I look for the outliers, the non-consensus thinkers, and the builders who are running toward the hardest problems. If you are constructing a high-conviction venture franchise or a category-defining company, let’s build.
