We invest in themes. Not sectors.

We invest in themes, not sectors

We live in a very different world today. The best ideas aren’t confined to a single sector, but instead are disruptive across multiple industries. That’s why our approach to investing doesn’t focus on sectors. We focus on themes.

We operate as partners first and find entrepreneurs with the shared ambition to build category defining companies. We start with our themes to identify early market leaders with a differentiated approach to solving a fundamental market problem for their customers.
