We are serial entrepreneurs with exit and turnaround track records, clinical psychologists specializing in remote assessments, data engineers, and generative and deterministic AI developers. We came together in the 2024 VClab cohort and found common ground in one conviction: something fundamental must change to democratize venture capital.
Through countless conversations with fellow investors, we found that in this asset class, decisions are too often driven by personal bias, gut feeling, and inflated ego. We are convinced we can do better. Much better, actually.
We will never publish a deal and will never reveal our portfolio — not to promote ourselves, and not to attract deal flow or co-investors. We will however publish exits, acquisitions, and IPOs of our portfolio companies. We want to be measured by outcomes, not by the cheques we write.
We are looking for the most disruptive companies and teams on the planet. Industry, domain, background, education, ethnicity, location, network, warm introductions or cold — none of it matters. What matters is the score we establish. We trust in that.
We are not subject matter experts in your industry. We most likely do not have a qualified opinion about it. Understanding what you are building is the third step of our journey — if we cannot understand it, we cannot invest in it.
We want to support you throughout your entrepreneurial journey. We strive to be teammates and sparring partners.
We will never take the driver's seat. We will never demand board changes. Your team dynamics assessment has either convinced us of your potential as a team — or it has not. We will never vote against you in a board meeting.
We are not silent investors. We will challenge you to become the best you can be.
We are committed to the Mensarius Oath of ethical investing.
