Responsibilities

A Founder-in-Residence (or "FIR") is an entrepreneur we partner with to build a venture-backed company that solves an Unmet Need. Typically, we begin a partnership with a FIR to develop an idea that is still in its infancy

If you have already raised capital, or already found product-market fit and your unit economics work, then you are likely too late for our Founder-in-Residence program.

We do make a select few traditional pre-seed investments in highly thematic companies.
