What we do.

  • We are highly selective of companies we decide to work with. We offer direct investments of between $100K to $1M.

  • We love innovative technologies. We also understand that sometimes a business fails because of the business and not the technology. We love M&A and passionate teams. The Graveyard Team works with you in structuring a deal that doesn't cut you out.

  • If you have an idea or want to pick our brain - our Builders Team works closely with founders both in (and not in) our portfolio to help build companies.
