Our Edge
Mission Statement

Before capital, came the grind. Before strategy decks, came the code.

We’ve built, scaled, and sold companies over the past 20 years. Now, we bring that experience to every founder we back. We invest in early-stage B2B cybersecurity and AI startups building solutions that outpace the world’s most sophisticated attackers.
The Lens

Adversary-Driven Insight

We think like the attacker. Our adversary mindset exposes market gaps before others even see them.

The Cycle

The Endless Cat-and-Mouse

Cyber never ends — the attacker adapts, the defender responds. That perpetual cycle makes security one of the most durable growth markets in tech.

The Convergence

Where AI Meets Cyber

We’ve built in both AI and cyber. That dual experience gives us an edge in backing founders at the convergence reshaping both attack and defense.

The Shift

Creating the Next Category Leaders

We’ve done it before — founded, scaled, and exited. Now we partner with the founders building tomorrow’s category-defining companies.

Our Thesis
Grit > Genius

Most startups don’t fail from bad ideas.

They fail from fragility. We back founders who adapt quickly, obsess over their product and customers, and are endlessly determined to outlast the noise.
  • We value resilience over polish.
  • Adaptability is your superpower.
  • Build with your users, not for your next round.
  • Our best founders aren’t loud. They’re relentless.
