Backing technical founders pre-pitch deck.
Technical founders who are leaving great roles to build something greater.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
Technical depth
Engineers and builders who've worked at the frontier.
High learning rate
Learning faster than the environment changes.
Commercial instincts
Building to win, not just to ship.
Goes the distance
A track record of hard bets that took years to pay off.
→ We invest $500K on standard, post-money, YC SAFEs. We’re often the first check, but don’t need to be.
TEAM
Helen Min,
Founder & General Partner
Helen spent nearly two decades as an early marketing leader at startups that built the internet — Facebook, Dropbox, Quora, Plaid, and AngelList.
Her job was to help technical founders articulate what they were building before the world understood it.
That's still her job. Except now she's investing in them first.
The companies we backed before the world understood them.
