Sectors
Fintech
The most durable financial companies we have backed sell to the people who keep the books: controllers, treasurers, payroll teams. Their problems are unglamorous, their budgets are real, and once a product runs the month-end close, it rarely gets replaced.

What we look for
We look for founders who have done the job they are automating, and who understand the licences, audits and bank partnerships that sit between a good demo and a product a finance team can trust.
The finance back office
Payables, treasury, payroll and close: work that is still manual at most companies with fewer than a thousand people.
Embedded products
Insurance, lending and payments sold inside the software a business already uses, rather than beside it.
Risk in real time
Fraud and compliance tools built for instant payments, where a decision has to be made in milliseconds.
