FAQ

When can I apply for funding?

We review applications on a rolling basis. Due to the high volume, it typically takes 2-4 weeks to review each application. We will contact you with next steps once your application has been reviewed.

What regions do you invest in?

We invest exclusively in companies incorporated as C-corps in the United States.

Do you have any investment preferences in certain types of businesses?

We specialize in startups within the following sectors, each chosen for their potential to significantly impact society and drive innovation:

• Healthcare: Advancements in medical technology and digital health.
• Education Technology (edTech): Solutions that revolutionize learning experiences and accessibility.
• Business to Business (B2B) and Direct to Consumer (D2C): Technologies that streamline operations and enhance consumer engagement.
• AI Technologies: Innovations that transform industries through intelligent automation and data analytics.
• Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG): We focus particularly on CPGs that promote wellness, offering healthier choices and contributing to societal uplift. These products cater to growing consumer demands for health and sustainability and align with our commitment to enhancing quality of life.

While committed to diversity and inclusivity, our primary focus is on early-stage companies in productivity, education, healthcare, and wellness that address critical unmet needs and inaccessibility with innovative, scalable solutions, particularly serving underrepresented groups.

Is there a sector you explicitly avoid?

We avoid investing in sectors with high unpredictability and industries that require prohibitive capital investments and have long development timelines. We do not consider startups that lack a clear alignment with social, health, or environmental impact, regardless of their potential for commercial success.

What happens after investment?

Post-investment, we actively work with our companies, providing operational support, access to our extensive network, and strategic advice to advance their product and scale their impact.

Do you sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs)?

In line with industry practices at the seed stage, we generally do not sign NDAs. We ensure all application materials are handled with the utmost confidentiality
