01Who We Are

What started as backyard barbecues became a community, then a fund.

In 2018, founders and investors gathered in San Francisco backyards for good food and better conversation. Those evenings built something rare — genuine trust between people building the future.

Our Approach

We write first checks. We back founders before anyone else will. We show up at the BBQ, the pitch, and the hard moments in between.

Where We Invest

Consumer, enterprise, deep tech, and everything in between. We invest in founders, not categories.
