An early-stage venture fund built by founders, for founders.
We help the best entrepreneurs in Cascadia build companies that change the world. We're based in Seattle, but we help build companies that the best growth investors in North America choose to back.
Portfolio
Team
We've walked a mile
(and more) in your shoes.
From bootstrap to venture backed, IPO to crash-and-burn, our investment team has founded, led, and exited startups from the first internet boom through the bust, and back out the other side. We know what the founder journey feels like and we back folks who have what it takes. Then we stick with them, no matter where that journey takes us.
Partners
We're all in this together.
We started in 2008 and over time have built a deep community of fellow founders, investors, and technology leaders we work with to create unfair advantage for the teams we back.
We also run Techstars Seattle, the region's #1 startup accelerator and part of the global Techstars network. In 2014 we partnered with the University of Washington and UpGlobal, to create Startup Hall, a new center of gravity for the region's innovation economy in Seattle's University District.

We can't do this without you.
Investors don't build companies, founders do. If you're building a company in the Pacific Northwest and want to stack the deck in your favor, get in touch and let us help you take it as far and as fast as you can go. We'll help you become the best founder and leader you can be, but we'll never forget whose company it is.
