Highly specialized teams

We invest in Anoraks! People with a very strong interest, perhaps obsessive, in niche subjects pertaining to our fund. Having high-caliber, focused knowledge on the founding team provides a substantial advantage to the company.

Solving tough problems

In order to push the boundaries of technology there are many difficult problems that must be solved, technical and otherwise. We look for teams trying to solve these problems and leverage our own knowledge and connections to help them succeed.
