Founder Criteria

Fast qualification for founders who want operator help, not passive capital alone.

Who We Work With

  • Post-MVP teams with product in market
  • Full-time founding teams
  • Revenue, paid pilots, or contracts
  • Clear bottlenecks in sales, delivery, or execution
  • Fundraising readiness in 6 to 18 months
  • Real-world AI applications tied to measurable outcomes
  • A real need for hands-on operating support

Problem Areas We Like

  • Operational workflow optimization
  • Infrastructure and asset monitoring
  • Industrial reliability workflows
  • Compliance-heavy operations
  • Examples: supply chain/hospitality and maritime monitoring

Not a Fit

  • Pre-MVP products
  • Ideas-only projects
  • Pre-revenue teams with no paid pilots
  • Part-time founders
  • Teams looking only for capital without operator engagement
