A small table.Every seat earned.

Our partners are not on this page for decoration. Each of them takes calls from founders about the thing they actually know.

Chris Philipose

Founder

Grew up in Mumbai, the only child of a civil engineer and a woman writing her doctoral thesis. Has built companies and sold them, run engineering inside very large ones, and been wrong expensively enough to write it down. Funds the firm with his own money.

Mary Thomas

Chairperson

Leads the investment thesis. Her background is in market strategy and in how enterprises adopt new technology.

Andrew Pierce

Limited Partner · Corporate law

Advises on legal compliance and the regulatory frameworks that apply to technology investments.

The engine room

Engineers · Security · Data

The engineers who build alongside our founders. You will meet them in your first week.
