Founders all
the way down

We’re investors but we’re entrepreneurs first. We’re helpers, hustlers, and dreamers. We’ve been through the ups and downs of running startups. We’re here to help you avoid the mistakes we’ve seen and the mistakes we’ve personally made. We won’t judge you when you make new ones. We promise.
