Our approach to investing is simple. We look for scalable opportunities (ScOps). We want companies that fill a fundamental consumer or business need in the most efficient way. Cool technology just doesn't cut it - your product has to solve a real problem. We seek management teams that are smart, competitive and aggressive. We want to find people who love what they do and need to make a profound impact.
We primarily focus on SaaS companies who have some proof of market validation which typically means $500k+ in revenue.
If you have a technology company with both product and revenue, please drop us an email and let's talk.
