Thesis

Funding requirementsI invest in FinTech, WealthTech,EdTech, & InsurTech, where I can leverage my industry expertise & network. I’m keen on SaaS & consumer internet. I’m interested in other sectors when there’s a compelling scaling opportunity. I try not to target investments where I would be dumb money, ideally having me on your cap-table is useful.
