Investment strategy
We get involved early and provide the backbone to guide founders through the ‘Mount Everest Stage’
Building a startup is like climbing a mountain—demanding yet rewarding. The Mount Everest Stage is where effort peaks before growth takes off, making it the most challenging phase. We step in early, providing the backbone founders need to navigate uncertainty and push through. As momentum builds and revenue increases, effort shifts from survival to scaling, paving the way for lasting success.
