They’re generalists who’ve spent focused time in the industrial tech sector like supply chain, logistics and warehousing; fintech; and digital health. They lean into industries and geographies that tend to be overlooked by large coastal funds. We’re drawn to exceptional, tenacious founders who have unique insight into the industry they want to transform.</p>
