About Us

We are a Boston based firm focused on early-stage startups (pre-seed to seed) building products that impact the human experience. We are active investors, meaning we want to activly help founders through regular, contact, advice and feedback.

While we are based in Boston, we invest in founders all over the world. We are particularly interested in companies that can leverage some of the particular strengths of the Boston eco-system. We enjoy hearing from both first-time founders and experienced entrepreneurs looking for an unfair advantage when fundraising.
