What Sets Us Apart

Meaningful Ag Connections

We are uniquely positioned and connected in the North Carolina ecosystem, where a vital technology startup community coexists with a robust agricultural economy.

Deep Early Stage Investing Experience

We have decades of experience advising founders to successfully navigate early-stage business and technology progress, moving successfully to demonstrate product-market fit, establish partnerships, protect IP, and prepare for subsequent investment.

Our partnership with 30-year-old firm Pappas Capital provides synergy and resources to our LPs and future portfolio firms.

We Think Like Entrepreneurs

We all have been entrepreneurs, just like the founders that we fund, so we get the challenges and pressures that can hinder growth, and how to overcome them.

A Diverse Perspective

We are a diverse team, coming from different cultural backgrounds and experiences, which allows us to leverage complementary strengths and to capitalize on opportunities in more holistic ways.
