Our investor-market fit in this category is unique: the technology leaders backing us aren't merely investors in the fund, they also form an informal customer advisory board for founders, in particular on the product roadmap and go-to-market fronts, since they represent, in aggregate, the ideal buyer of the services we focus on. Initially operated as a syndicate investing via SPVs, then raised Fund I in Q4 2022.
