most interested in

We are one of the few firms that will invest in defense, and yes we will invest in weapons if it makes sense to do so. Past investments are SpaceX (2014), Anduril (2017), Umbra (2018), Modern Intelligence (2021) We are also keenly interested in digital sovereignty: Eco.com, Skiff.com, Keys.casa, and the Urbit ecosystem (Uqbar, Tirrel, Zorp etc). We have a bucket for curveballs: things that don't fit in buckets. Flexport (2015), Brella (2019) Fount.bio (2019) Coop.farm (2022).

not interested in

We feel that the world doesn't need the n+1 investor in enterprise SaaS, mainstream fintech, or ecommerce. We are most interested in things for which nobody knows who the best investors in the world are.
