You build and design, we fund and leverage.

We are committed to our founders and their vision.

Responsible Investing

We are on a mission to fundamentally transform the world by empowering and investing in the most outstanding individuals who are creating the world changing businesses of tomorrow. It is vital for us that along with our portfolio companies generate sustainable value, make a positive impact by creating scalable solutions and set the standard for diversity as part of our purpose.

Create Big Impact

More than ever, there are opportunities to make a positive difference in the world. As one of the competitive early-stage investment platform, we think it’s critical to have extraordinary individuals, from all backgrounds and countries, work on tackling significant global problems and challenges by establishing game-changing technology businesses.

Get from Zero to Seed

At the stage when there is no revenue, no customers, no scalable product, and oftentimes no legal entity – your personal story, team and deep connection to the problem are your unique insights. We’ll work with you to create your business from the ground up, pair you with successful co-founders, and provide you access to our network of renowned coaches and advisers.

Methodology

Learn More About Our Methodology

Here are some guidelines we can help you with:

UX Above Everything

Draw up a plan detailing your goals for a successful launch as well as the steps you must take to get there.

Agile & Iterative

Determine how much each work will cost, how much time and money you will devote to it, and provide a reasonable cushion for unforeseen roadblocks.

Conversion Focused

Set reasonable expectations for your pre-seed investment based on your estimates, and be open and honest about any roadblocks.

Pitch

Your growth potential

Every startup founder must understand the importance of making a good first impression while balancing business and emotional needs.

STEP 1

First take a moment to introduce yourself and your company. Give a high-level summary of what your company does without getting too into the weeds.

Visuals: On the slide itself, all you need is your logo, your product image, and your tagline. 

STEP 2

What major issue are you resolving, and why should your audience be interested? This is your time to argue that the issue is one that merits tackling. All great businesses exist to address a real market need. 

Visuals: Include keywords and images that relate but don’t over complicate your message.

STEP 3

What is your hypothesis now that you have clearly and convincingly stated the issue? You should be able to sum up your company’s operations and the value it offers to clients in a few succinct sentences. Keep it straightforward once more so that your granny can understand it.

Visuals: Include visuals of your product and service. There’s definitely no need to flood this.

STEP 4

Make a case for this round of investment in your company as you round out your pitch. Why should investors place a wager at this time? Why is this the ideal time for your business to raise money and expand quickly? Why is this area ready for change? This is your opportunity to ask the audience to take action. 

Drive home the 3 key points of your pitch to keep investors thinking after you leave the stage.
