Today's venture backed companies are staying private longer, growing larger, and raising more capital prior to a liquidity event than ever before. As a consequence, we are able to discover and pursue attractive opportunities by investing in growth-stage companies 2-3 years prior to their anticipated IPO or acquisition.

Megatrends

Primary and Secondary

Every epoch has its megatrends — technological and socioeconomic tail winds powering innovation. We seek to bet on these trends at their sweet spot: right after initial validation but several years prior to them becoming mainstream.

We currently focus on fintech, digital assets infrastructure, machine learning tools and no-code solutions.

Longer average timeline to go public resulted in an unprecedented demand for growth capital by the "unicorns". It also created the need for alternative liquidity solutions for their investors and employees.

We professionally execute both primary and secondary investments in fast-growing companies as long as we find their valuations attractive.
