Engineering Connections.

Our founding team shares two core passions that help to guide our mission:

We Love to Build.

We embrace the entrepreneurial experience and mindset. Our team aims to recognize where systems and processes can be improved, understand challenges and value propositions, pay attention to detail and commit to better solutions, develop best-in-class products and scale teams and organizations.

We Love to Connect.

We believe that making trusted connections is the foundation for success. We have deep roots in building partnerships, working with cross-functional teams and supporting clients. Our desire is to bring together talented managers, smart investors, and forward-thinking partners to help allocate capital to the best ideas.
