About

The firm publishes almost nothing. Its site is a single page whose only substantive statement is its own description of itself: "Experienced operators/investors backing the founders of tomorrow." There is no team page, no portfolio page and no stated fund size — a /team path returns a 404.

What can be said about it comes through its people. Benjamin Hutchinson is a general partner and leads seed rounds. He co-founded Earnest, the student-loan refinancing company acquired by Navient, after working at the UK Treasury during the financial crisis, and later co-founded and was chief operating officer of the crypto trading platform Rocketplace, which ceased operations in 2024. He spoke at a TechVancouver fireside in August 2019, then still known for Earnest, on starting and selling companies.

This page is deliberately short. A firm that says one sentence about itself gets one sentence repeated back, not a filled-out profile built from inference.

Backers

A venture firm; its limited partners, fund size and vintage are not published anywhere this page could read.

Some figures are founder-stated, not independently confirmed
