We back founders building what's next with as little as $50K and as much as $1M. Historically, 97% of our investments are Seed through Series A. We're generalist investors with a deep interest in financial infrastructure, full-stack hardware x software solutions, and frontier technologies.

Secondaries: Fund Positions and Privately Held Shares

Secondaries: Fund Positions and Privately Held Shares

Over time, we've broadened our venture to invest in secondary sales of both private late-stage companies as well as venture and private equity funds. We've acquired entire fund positions from LPs and entire holdings from early-stage investors, advisors, and employees in search of liquidity. We complete diligence, make firm offers, and close quickly.

In 2019, we founded Ligature: The Design VC to scale our impact. Ligature is focused solely on early-stage venture capital — primarily Pre-Seed through Series A — and combines a focus on fintech and frontier technologies with hands-on design support for portfolio companies. Over the last 5 years we've raised more than $10M and earned top-decile returns every single year.
