We primarily invest in startups and early-stage companies founded by atypical founders. We consider atypical founders to be anyone that does not meet the traditional mold due to demographic, economical and social factors. We believe that these founders face the greatest barriers of entry into the startup ecosystem. Our objective is to remove these barriers and help atypical founders build strong brands.
