Hyperfocused on supporting founders with banking/capital markets, lending, and insurance use cases
We Can Help Build
Our team has spent the majority of our careers within financial services and we’ve founded 3 successful fintech companies.
We’ve deployed over $38 million in debt and equity into our portfolio companies, and following our Fund’s initial investment, our founders have secured over $2.7 billion in cumulative equity and debt financing from leading institutional co-investors.
Follow-on strategic investors into our current portfolio companies include Amazon, Apollo, Blackstone, Credit Suisse, Fairfax Financial, Ford Motors, Greenlight Re, Jefferies, KKR, Macquarie, and Mass Mutual, among others.
Our portfolio companies have also raised venture/growth capital from top-tier firms such as Drive Capital, Edison Partners, Goodwater Capital, Hudson Structured Capital Management, M12 (Microsoft’s Venture Fund), Montage Ventures, Softbank, and Valor Equity Partners.
Members of our portfolio have achieved successful exits to strategic acquirers, including Neuberger Berman, Visa, and Vouch Insurance.
