Some founders make the whole room hum.

We write early checks into enterprise software and put real hours behind them: 25+ years leading technology, much of it inside investment firms, now on the founder’s side of the table.

A folded-paper laboratory at night: an inventor in a tailcoat lifts a glowing bulb toward a tall coil throwing soft sparks, while a pigeon watches from the coil's wooden platform and lamps glow overhead.
