We believe that the school of real life often teaches the most profound lessons, especially in catalyzing change. We see past the echo chamber to something bolder: untapped potential in unconventional brilliance. We're all about the 'hard knockz'—those raw, unique experiences that mold the most creative and tenacious minds. These are the adoptees who transformed challenges into triumphs, the foster kids who clawed their way out of systemic shadows, the dreamers who stumbled and scrapped until their scrapes turned into scars of wisdom. In a realm filled with echo, we are the distinct voice that whispers to the brave: 'Forge your path, light your torch, and lead the way.' We don't chase resumes, we back revolutions.

Additionally, we are dedicated to supporting underrepresented founders on a broader spectrum, including women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Send us a note explaining why you’re destined for success. No need to explain what you’re working on, that’s the next step.
