Investment Team

SaaS & Infra

We invest in the building blocks of modern software companies along the entire stack.

This includes everything needed to build, run, deploy, monitor and secure software products, all the way up to B2B SaaS applications that encode industry specific domain knowledge. Not to mention, emerging technologies like Generative AI and Crypto — both of which are not just application layer phenomenon’s but also enable exiting new ways to build applications.

In short, we love products and tools built with a kick ass developer experience in mind and those that leverage open source to drive adoption. So if you're building a SaaS or software infrastructure company, let’s talk!
