Find Founders Backed by Decades of Experience
Stop betting on pitches. Start betting on proven journeys. Discover experienced founders whose life's work has prepared them for this moment.
Experience is the Ultimate Predictor
Venture capital has a founder problem. Too many bets on young, inexperienced founders with great pitches but thin track records. Too many misses on experienced operators who don't fit the "founder mold."
We believe the best predictor of future success is not a pitch deck—it's a lifetime of connected dots. The failures that built resilience. The pivots that revealed adaptability. The seemingly unrelated skills that converge into unique insight.
73%
of successful exits were led by founders with 10+ years of industry experience before founding.
