AI Meets Investment

Backed by global family offices, asset managers and corporations, our firm was funded in 2024 during our time at Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley, investing in clean tech, sustainability, and deep tech via venture capital, project finance and tax equity.

By leveraging our proprietary AI Due Diligence Copilot built in-house - 1st place awarded by UC Berkeley Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (SCET), we expect 90% of our deals to be evaluated within two months. On top of our AI technology, we are also adding a community layer by sharing the due diligence process with our invited co-investors.

The Journey Of VC 2.0 - AI Due Diligence Copilot

A Note About Our Journey, Philosophy and Mission

Our Journey

With backgrounds in engineering and science, our founding team—global citizens with over 10 years of average professional experience—has successfully navigated the dynamic worlds of investment, deep tech, and AI across Europe, Asia, and North America. 

 

Our Culture and Philosophy

We believe in the power of action over words, value simplicity and efficiency, and encourage everyone to pursue their passions and happiness over just a job—even if it sometimes means taking risks for high rewards. That, to us, is the essence of both venture capital and the journey of life.

Our Mission and Vision

We care deeply about empowering global citizens—especially immigrant and international founders—who often begin their journeys with no network, limited access to capital, and few institutional advantages, yet persist in building and delivering with impact. We’ve seen firsthand how much untapped potential exists in people who are too often underestimated because of where they come from or how they started.

That’s why we’ve committed ourselves to deploying capital and building tools, systems, and communities that reduce friction in cross-border investing. We accelerate due diligence, streamline capital raising, and increase investor readiness—supporting founders and funders from diverse backgrounds. 

 

We operate with a deep appreciation for resilience, execution, and authenticity. We encourage boldness, optimism, and the pursuit of meaningful work—even when it means taking unconventional paths.

What drives us is not just deploying capital or building technology—it’s creating infrastructure that allows more startups, project developers, asset managers, corporates, family offices and angel investors from different backgrounds to participate, thrive, and lead on a global stage.
