We call it SOT

Three entrepreneurs.
One shared way of thinking.

Building a business asks a lot of its founders. We believe investors should bring more to the table, too: operating experience, useful connections, and a relationship built on transparency.

SOT stands for Swiftness Of Thought. It reflects how we approach decisions, support founders, and put experience into action.
