01
Phone number that gets answered
Early cheques, long horizons. Real estate and operating businesses as well as software. We take one board seat and stay involved.
Business evaluation, technology review, strategy planning. We look at the product, the team and the numbers, and tell you what we actually see.
Some founders do not need a plan, they need someone who has done it to think out loud with. A standing call, no deck required.
01
A company that does not make money is a hobby with payroll. Profit is what buys the time to do the rest well.
02
Without a great team no one succeeds. People, technology, creativity and life balance are the focus.
03
The product has to be worth paying for on the day the sales call ends. None of the three can suffer for the benefit of another.
We are hands on. Developer and technology background, business development experience, and a bias toward creative answers other people have not tried yet.
