most interested in

Disruptive consumer propositions. Better consumer journeys. Businesses with remarkable propositions that have flywheel potential outside of spending more on marketing (ironic, we know). And "great" founders; which arguable is the most important thing at the earliest of stages.

not interested in

Non-consumer businesses. Not US-based companies (we focus on the market we know the demand side best.)
