Areas of Focus

    • Fintech and Payments

      We are excited by innovative consumer experiences across financial services, payments and commerce, which solve pain points in how consumers manage and move their money, and how they shop online and offline.

    • Commerce Enablement

      With increased competition and changing consumer needs, merchants require differentiated services and software to start, run, and grow their business. We invest in solutions that enable growth and efficiency for merchants.

    • Artificial Intelligence

      We are investing in early-stage AI companies across all industries and verticals. We see incredible opportunities in AI across advertising, customer success, risk, compliance, legal, and personalization.

    • Blockchain, Crypto and Core Technology

      We look to invest in opportunities that bring innovation to the multi-layered infrastructure that supports consumer financial services and merchant commerce enablement.
