Our story
From the past decade of investing, we noticed a pattern: the best founders validate their ideas part-time, before committing full-time. They build for underserved users like themselves, and they build for underserved customers who they didn't have the right solutions for from their full-time job.
Typical investors and accelerators won't consider anyone who isn't full-time, believing these founders to be "less serious." We saw otherwise, so began extensive research. It turns out, 6 out of 7 of American trillion-dollar companies were founded fractionally, and 1 in 4 Fortune 500 companies were founded fractionally.
Now, we focus on backing the best fractional founders.
