Track Record
Early stage investing offers substantially better returns than general venture investing; our historic returns are testament to this.
The track record of our 2011 Vintage fund is amongst the top 1% of US- based VC Funds both in terms of DPI, and average IRR per SPV across close to 40 exits.
A substantial proportion of our exits have been to large Fortune 100 and Big tech companies, with whom we collaborate closely on product and sector innovation.
