<strong>Company</strong> Profile | 2<br />
Introduction.<br />
We back founders<br />
as early as day one<br />
with capital from our<br />
network and 1000s<br />
of hours of hands-on<br />
help across all startup<br />
disciplines.<br />
We work closely with entrepreneurs<br />
often around<br />
their area of expertise to<br />
come up with business<br />
ideas worth bringing to<br />
life. We then seek to kill<br />
our ideas as quickly as<br />
possible in order to reveal<br />
the ideas that survive our<br />
strict vetting process.<br />
under one roof to push out<br />
startup after startup...like<br />
a factory.<br />
Our team of engineers,<br />

We build world-class<br />
teams with entrepreneurs<br />
to spinoff funded companies<br />
with product-market<br />
fit and traction. Historically,<br />
building successful<br />
startups has been extremely<br />
risky and difficult. Thus,<br />
we bring together worldclass<br />
domain experts
