Velocity
Velocity is our bespoke program for pre-seed founders. We give you the capital, peer cohort, and network to go from 0 to 1. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
Capital
We invest up to $1M in your company to help you get to your next key milestone. When it's time for follow-on funding, we will work with you to refine your pitch and get intros to the right investors.
