What We Invest In

Our fund is an evergreen fund and our focus is on flexibility and transparency. We do not require our limited partners to invest in every deal we do; they can opt in to only the ones they really like. It is in this way that we bring optionality and sensibility to direct investing. We also pride ourselves in governing our portfolio and our LP relationships with high levels of frequency and professionalism.
