What We Look For at Pre-Seed

A short, honest description of how we evaluate a first-cheque opportunity — and what will not move us.

We back technical teams with an unreasonable amount of context on the problem they have chosen. Domain scar tissue beats pedigree in almost every case we have seen.

We are comfortable with pre-revenue, unfinished products and imperfect markets. We are not comfortable with unclear ownership, undefined technical risk, or a plan that only works if a competitor stands still.

If that sounds like your company, send us the shortest version of the story you can write. We reply to everything.
