Our investment strategy is unique, employing a two pronged approach to invest early and often in emerging market entrepreneurs. We target 100-120 initial investments for risk diversification, averaging $100k at the seed stage, with follow on allocations up to $0.5m. Our target fund allocation is split 50% for initial investments and 50% for follow ons, depending on the final fund size.

We developed an intuitive rubric to make fast investment decisions using efficient processes. Closing a funding round quickly is crucial for young startups. While our high frequency, high volume investing may seem less serious to some, our selection and due diligence processes remain more rigorous than most.
