01 / Thesis
A new era of technology
demands a new kind of partner.
The last decade was defined by software. The next is being built at the intersection of AI, robotics, synthetic biology, and advanced hardware. Physics is relevant again — and Samsung is uniquely positioned to lead.

A check is what separates a conversation from a commitment. You get the expertise of a world-class venture firm — plus a direct call option into one of the world's largest technology companies.
03 / Approach
Fast, honest, and
out of your way.
Our process is as efficient as our philosophy. We move quickly, commit decisively, and spend the rest of our time being useful — not collecting board seats.
01
Flexible check sizes
We invest across all stages, from $50K to $25MM, tailored to your team and stage of growth.
02
No IC. No theatre.
Decisions made efficiently — no investment committee meetings required to slow things down.
03
A partner, not a lead
We participate as a minority, non-lead investor. A strategic resource on your cap table, not your captain.
04
Commercially-driven follow-on
We invest more when there's a clear, high-impact commercial opportunity that creates a win-win with Samsung.
