We believe in a future where venture capital is more equitable, more efficient, and more genuine.
Our Approach
We see an opportunity within venture capital to be true partners to our founders.
We partner with the high-velocity, high-conviction companies that stand out from their peers because they are driven to build efficiently.
When we make investments, we are committed to our companies for their lifespan.
We become trusted and preferred partners of our entrepreneurs.

CEO, ZecOps

Andrew Miller
CEO, Cameyo
Stormbreaker’s willingness to run through walls (and open very strategic doors) for us already has been nothing less than inspiring. They’re truly breaking the mold when it comes to how typical VCs work.
