Across our funds and syndicate platform, we have invested in more than 150 technology companies spanning AI, climate tech, enterprise software, health, deep tech, fintech and emerging technologies.

Each year, we review thousands of investment opportunities and work closely with founders to help them scale through capital, strategic support and access to our global network of investors, operators and industry experts.
