In their words
Our sweet spot is really A's and B's, though we led Nikolai's seed and A. So we certainly do seed, all the way up through early growth.
We spend most of our time in two areas. Smart enterprise, which we define as vertical enterprise software for those industries that power society — healthcare, finance, gov tech.
We're San Francisco based, but I spend my time between New York and SF. We invest everywhere though.
