Question 4

Do you lead or follow?

We take a hands-on approach to supporting the startups in our portfolio.

We then provide significant financial backing to help companies execute on their plans. Because of our level of engagement and support, we prefer to be the leading investor in a round and work closely with founders as board members.

Question 5

What's your DD process?

Accepted Answer

If we see a good fit between your startup and our fund thesis, we will engage with you beyond the initial introduction calls and begin our thorough Deep-Diligence process. This process involves diving deep into the fundamentals of your startup, including your vision, technology, team, market demand, and funding needs. We work closely with a network of industry experts to validate our analysis, and we expect the leadership team to be fully invested in the process, just as we are. This process typically takes a month and involves regular communication and updates. We believe that this level of engagement is key to ensuring a successful partnership.
