We respect your time and make decisions quickly. We are experts at starting from scratch and building something bigger. We go to great lengths for our founders and are direct and straightforward. We believe that founders are indispensable as CEOs and resist replacing them in that role.
-
Our assets go beyond our checkbook
Whether brainstorming product features, positioning and launch strategy, or addressing company culture issues, we want to lend a hand. We have an expansive network in Silicon Valley and beyond. We are ready to make introductions that count, whether with potential customers, key hires, advisors or investors for subsequent rounds of funding.
-
We have been in your shoes before
Having been entrepreneurs ourselves, we have an acute understanding of the entrepreneurial journey. Our experience gives us the perspective to know when to help — and when not to. We have empathy for the highs and lows and the burden of responsibilities that comes with building a company from the ground up.
-
We pick up the phone when you call
Founders come to us when they want to have honest conversations that help them grow. We hope to be the first call you make both in times of success or crisis. If it is important to you, it is important to us – whether it is evening, weekend or vacation.
