Investment Team
Marketplaces & Consumer
We back startups who are shaping the future across B2B and B2C at the intersection of marketplaces, eCommerce 2.0 and consumer subscriptions. You really want our attention? Throw in some network effects - the driver behind the digital platforms that are redefining our everyday lives.
Every market requires its own approach. For some, a vertically integrated, direct-to-consumer subscription model is best. Others are better suited to a network effects-driven platform. What didn’t start as a platform may become one over time. That’s why we play the long game.
Our team’s knowledge, networks and operational expertise are yours to help you meet the moment and build the must-have technologies of tomorrow.
