Our platform

  • We activate extensive industry and founder networks to provide unparrarell platform for growth.

  • We know the path is winding, especially in fintech. We don't panic at every twist and turn. We are committed to being the best possible partner through the whole journey.

  • We typically invest at late Seed and Series A, and on exception in later rounds. What we really care about is early signs of commercial validation, not the round label. We like to lead although we're not precious about it.

  • The majority of our LPs are world class fintech founders who generously share their experience, expertise, networks and insights with our portfolio.

Platform is at the heart of everything we do, providing our portfolio with insights connectivity, expertise, resources and talent. We embrace transient competitive advantage using data to power our decisions.
