We invest in technology-driven companies reinventing parenthood.
(LinkedIn, Crunchbase) Our mission is simple: we invest in technology-driven companies reinventing parenthood. Our early stage investments are both geographic and tech agnostic—we don’t care where you are or what you’re passionate about—we just want to make parenting easier.
But we go way beyond the check…
We believe in creating value through company building.
We’re entrepreneurs, operators, and investors. We’ve helped build seed-stage companies around the world. Our passion is to offer as much of our experience, resources and relationships our entrepreneurs need to punch above their weight.
We’re also parents—we know how hard it is to be a parent—especially a new parent. But we believe as more and more millennial entrepreneurs become parents (only 20-30% so far), there will be a huge wave of innovation coming into this space (87% of all new parents are millennials)—and we want to be there.
We’re looking for someone who speaks the language of numbers—who loves doing due diligence, creating financial models and structuring deals.
