Primarily angel investors. We write the first check for talented founders the world hasn't noticed yet.
We back founders working on hard physical and computational problems, the kind where deep technical insight is the moat. Hardware is the enabler: when you own the stack at the physical layer, smart software on top becomes defensible in ways pure software companies rarely achieve. We are drawn to teams that combine scientific depth with the drive to build real products, and we prefer to invest before the rest of the world catches on.
Through the hard parts
Building a company is not a straight line. We stay close during the tough stretches, not just the wins.
Network introductions
Connections to customers, potential hires, domain experts, and follow-on investors when the time is right.
Technical guidance
Architecture decisions, vendor choices, hiring your first engineers. We have been in the weeds and are happy to go back.
AI for Manufacturing
Applying machine learning and computer vision to industrial processes: quality control, predictive maintenance, autonomous production lines.
Edge AI & AI Chips
Inference at the edge. Custom silicon, neuromorphic architectures, and software stacks that run intelligence where the data is generated.
Robotics
Humanoid robots and the sensor stacks that make them work. Tactile sensing, proprioception, and the embodied AI needed to operate in unstructured environments.
Semiconductor Technology
Novel materials, process innovations, and chip architectures that push beyond the limits of conventional CMOS scaling, including CAD and EDA software that makes next-generation chip design possible.
