Technical founders backing technical founders

We love entrepreneurship and working alongside founders to support their vision. We’ve been called "nice and nerdy" and to that we say: (x2 + y2 - 1)3 = x2y3

We invest early in technical teams transforming major industries

We target sectors facing both existential threats and tremendous opportunities – healthcare, logistics, real estate, and other essential industries where technical innovation can solve critical problems.

We’re technical founders, with deep operating experience

We're the "nice and nerdy" fund that brings both technical depth and operational experience to early-stage investing. Our partners built billion-dollar companies and foundational AI infrastructure (including Common Crawl, which powers today's leading AI models). We combine this experience with strategic guidance to help founders navigate the path from idea to scaled company.
