Bio

We believe the world needs more builders. That’s why we’re operators—not venture capitalists.

Over the last decade, we’ve scaled teams to 1,000+ and raised over $400M from VCs including Sequoia, Google and Tiger.

We’re investors or advisors in AngelList, Bolt, MasterClass, Mercury, Scale, Talkdesk and 25+ others.

We help with the hard things: hiring/firing, co-founder disputes, fundraising, board issues and scaling.
