Strategy
While we focus on late-seed and Series A stage companies, we could also consider seed investments in areas of our sector expertise or with co-investors we know.
The sweet spot is B2B software and tech-enabled solutions, however, we also invest in compelling marketplaces and consumer applications.
Vertical wise we are quite agnotics, but have done substantial work across 6 broad categories
Initial check size of US$0.5 – 10M, following up to US$20m over the life of our investment from the fund and captable to exercise ours pro-rata via our LP co-investments across late-stage.
We seek 10–20% stakes depending on the company stage and check size. Flashpoint often sits on the board to spend meaningful time with our founders and unlock value.
