From Innovation to Prosperity

We invest at the intersection of people and prosperity. We do this by investing in innovative pre-seed and seed stage B2B and B2B2C products that are emerging as the building blocks of the future of education, workforce, government/civics, health, and wealth. Advancements in these areas will strengthen the foundational pillars of a more sustainable economy and prosperous future.

Venture Capital With a Conscience

We source and fund under-leveraged founders from under-resourced places who are building tools that will enhance economic mobility. Then, we add clear value by unlocking opportunities through our expertise & network.
