We help ambitious founders
go global

Our mission is to partner with founders who think global from day 1.
We are their first global investor as they expand to the US and other markets.

Our ethos

We are a group of investors, founders, and operators with hybrid experiences in both Silicon Valley and Asia. We are a new investment firm purpose built to invest in ambitious founders who want to go global from day 1. We like to partner early and have the conviction to be the first global investor for these founders, and we have the resources to bridge them with the US/global native ecosystems from day 1 of our partnership.We put our years of deep networks in multiple continents at work to support our portfolio companies. We understand from first-hand go-global experiences the type of strategy, talent, and organizational set-up needed to win. We also observed from first-hand experiences in Silicon Valley the desire to bridge an existing gap in understanding the outside startups, their unique business models, and value to investors, and we believe that we're the right people to build that bridge.

He is currently based in San Francisco.Laura spent her career working for the fastest growing tech companies in both the US and Asia, including first-hand experience building ByteDance go-global business. She is currently based in San Francisco and is part of the senior leadership team at a $3B Silicon Valley startup.Ed brings over a decade of AI experience in Asia, including as a product leader for ByteDance go-global business, where he transformed advanced AI research into enterprise-ready solutions. He was also a founder himself, achieving 10M DAU globally.

Our companies

We gravitate towards early-stage AI-native companies with a B2C focus and the ambition to become a global company. We like to work with founders who have strong technical capabilities, understand the playbook of building a global user base, but are in need of US/global native know-how and resources.

Courage is in even shorter supply than genius.
