The thesis
Three convictions govern every check we write.
Durable advantage compounds quietly
Hype fades; throughput, unit economics, and regulatory trust do not. We underwrite companies that get structurally harder to displace with every customer they serve.
Conviction over coverage
We make a small number of investments each year and concentrate our capital, time, and network behind them. We would rather be early and right than diversified and average.
By the numbers
A decade of concentrated, patient capital.
