Our Thesis

We back early-stage founders building defensible, data-driven companies. We look for startups that unlock new visibility by aggregating underutilized public data or generating novel data at the edge and convert that insight into clear commercial value. We are especially active across dual-use markets where government and private-sector demand reinforce each other.
