      • For founders, advice and promises of capital come from all directions

         

        We invest in early-stage technology companies.

         

        We try our best to relate our experiences in technology and business, knowing that entrepreneurs are faced with myriad choices, a constant stream of hype, conflicting feedback from VCs and customers, and a long, emotional road to success, failure, or yet more road.

         

        We spend time where we are needed and valued, and disagree with the principle that investors should spend time solely on "winners".

         

        Our primary goal is to earn an educational return. In order to do this, we try to identify specific projects or tasks with each company we invest in, attempting to add value, build a closer relationship with the founding team, and learn.

         

        Above all, we value meaningful relationships and enjoy working with entrepreneurs.

        - Matt Talbot, co-founder of GoSpotCheck

        "Shan is an amazing listener, deeply insightful, and very well connected. He is a refreshing calm & humble voice in a hectic & boisterous startup world, and I'm deeply grateful to have him on my side. Highly, highly recommended."

        - Benjamin Lowenstein, co-founder of Colingo

        "Shan is an incredible investor. He actually cares about the product and users and is not afraid to roll up his sleeves and tactically get into the product. He also is quite visionary and has helped me think through the bigger picture of where the company is going. I'd highly recommend working with Shan if you have the opportunity."

        - Brett Kopf, co-founder of Remind
