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 and effective way. We look to partner with people who love what they do and need to make a profound impact. As former founders ourselves, we take a long-term perspective to the investments we make, and see every investment opportunity as a long-term partnership.  We primarily focus on SaaS companies who have some proof of market validation which typically means $500k+ in ARR or marketplaces with $500k+ in annualized net revenue. If you have a technology company with both product and revenue, please drop us an email and let's talk.
