REVIEW INVESTMENT CRITERIA
We aim to be your first institutional money in a priced round of up to $4M. Most of our founders have already raised some money from friends and family to bootstrap their initial development and have a substantial technical demonstration ready to show.
We typically write initial checks of $250k – $1.5M. We often lead but also syndicate with other like-minded investors. We reserve significant capital for subsequent rounds, and we have strong relationships with later-stage investors to help catalyze future funding rounds.
We prefer startups with 1-3 founders, working full time. Generally, all of our founders have a technical background. An experienced business founder is a bonus.
We focus on companies and founders based in North America. Occasionally we will consider other regions.
We invest in a broad range of technologies and industries, including: robotics, industrial manufacturing, embedded systems, internet-of-things, ML and AI, automotive, aerospace, agriculture, construction, healthcare, consumer electronics, and automation of all kinds. We see the merits of building full stack vertical solutions as well as horizontal technology platforms.
