They initially invest between $500,000 and $5 million in high-growth technology companies, reserving significant capital for subsequent investments to support companies through their early and growth stages. They look to partner with entrepreneurs who have fresh ideas, breakthrough innovations, and unconventional approaches that will yield explosive growth. They believe that their ability to meaningfully contribute to a business’s development is just as important as the capital they invest. As such, they seek investment opportunities that offer them the chance to leverage the experience, insight, and network they have built since their inception in 1984. Their approach is personal and long-term, not institutional.

ShardSecure operates as a data protection company. The company's Microshard technology offers protection for storing and sharing sensitive data in the cloud and provides a key additional security layer in the age of the cloud, breaking down and distributing data to render it meaningless to cybercriminals.

ShardSecure’s platform helps organizations process data in compliance with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, CIS, and PCI DSS. The company’s “Microshard” zero-trust data security solution offers protection for data stored in the cloud and on-premises by “shredding” data flows from back-end applications and services to fragment it into single-digit bytes, which are then mixed into microshard containers without file names, extensions, or location information to eliminate data sensitivity and mitigate data breach risk while also ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations. This approach also enables parallel reads and writes on data resulting in a 2x–10x improvement in cloud performance.
