SaaS
The cloud revolution didn’t just change how we deliver software—it unleashed a new era of enterprise innovation, transforming every industry.
What we do
We Invest Across Departmental, Vertical, and Horizontal SaaS
Every broken workflow represents an opportunity for transformation. We bet on forward-thinking founders who replace fragmented, manual processes with intelligent AI-native cloud solutions that automate mind-numbing repetitive tasks to reimagine how we work.
Our Thinking
We don’t chase trends in enterprise software—we anticipate them. Our systematic research into emerging market shifts helps us identify transformative companies before others see their potential.
Our SaaS Companies
The founders we back don’t limit themselves to what is, but relentlessly pursue what could be. We seek out visionaries who see market shifts and opportunities before they happen. By developing deep conviction in emerging sectors, we identify—and back—the companies that will define tomorrow’s enterprise landscape.
