Belief
Not all data is the right data. Those who know how to source, understand, and use the right data have an unfair advantage in markets. We have an enduring belief in the power of behavior design, data science, and the application of insights from science and industry operators to company building and venture capital investment.
Early-Stage Portfolio Investment Allocation
We invest in people building tools that analyze and augment positive, diverse human abilities.
We back companies building mindful ventures and continue to back those that we believe are already in, or have the potential to achieve entry into, the mindful technologies category.
We focus exclusively on B2B and B2B2C business models.
On a deal basis, our target portfolio construction is 70% Pre-Seed and 30% Seed and Series A, with 90% based in the United States and up to 10% per fund elsewhere.
We are passionate about models, methods, metrics, mechanisms, maxims, and mentorship.
Context
The saturation of data across industries, driven by unprecedented integrations, has left traditional enterprises struggling to keep up and left untapped value buried in volatile and unsustainable systems.
These challenges pave the way for a new wave of foundational companies that cultivate smarter interactions between minds and machines to build cutting-edge data solutions and insights, and are led by founders who build resilient systems for behavior change that optimize for intelligent decisions in rapidly changing environments.
