FAQ's

Got a question about our process and funding model?

Here's a collection of a common questions, contact for any other.

In which types of companies do you invest?

We love software projects, mainly b2b SaaS in large-enough niche markets​. We’re not​ investing in hardware-related projects. We value integrity and work ethic. We appreciate projects that are already touching early clients and that are geared for low-cost, efficient business models with high potential scale.​

How are you different from traditional VC?

We tend to invest smaller amounts of money and in earlier stages of the projects’ life-cycle. We believe in super-simple deals and try to align our interests with those of the founder/s as much as possible (i.e. we love taking common shares, and not looking for cumbersome veto rights).

Do you do SAFE or CLA?

Absolutely! We're indifferent as to the deal mechanics as long as the main economic values are kept (i.e. applying the right valuation cap). We have good experience with SAFEs and CLAs and these can help us cut many of the legalities and save on time and legal fees.

How much do you invest?

We typically inject ​up to ​$2​50,000 in the project initially.

If I need more than $250k at the initial stage?

It depends how much more. If you need a bit more we are happy to cooperate with other friendly ​angel investors and jointly invest to cover your funding needs. In case you’re planning on significantly larger round, this is not for us and we unfortunately will need to pass on the opportunity — May be sorry for it later :-))

What does the investment process look like?

Fast. Friendly. Focused. We will probably jump on a quick call with you and if relevant – continue with face-to-face meeting. In most cases we will make go/no-go decision in 7 days and money in your bank within 30 days from 1st meeting, ​tops. try us.
