We Can Help Build

Our team has spent the majority of our careers within financial services and we’ve founded 3 successful fintech companies.

We’ve invested over $38 million in debt and equity into our portfolio companies, and following our Fund’s initial investment, our founders have secured over $2.7 billion in cumulative equity and debt financing from leading institutional co-investors.

Follow-on strategic investors into our current portfolio companies include Amazon, Apollo, Blackstone, Credit Suisse, Fairfax Financial, Ford Motors, Greenlight Re, Jefferies, KKR, Macquarie, Mass Mutual, Northwestern Mutual, and Rockefeller Capital Management.

Our portfolio companies have also raised venture/growth capital from top-tier firms such as Drive Capital, Edison Partners, Goodwater Capital, Hudson Structured Capital Management, M12(Microsoft’s VC Fund), Montage Ventures, and Slow Ventures.

Members of our portfolio have achieved successful exits to strategic acquirers, including Neuberger Berman and a subsidiary of Visa.
