What makes us different?





ACCESS



We have unrivaled access to a global network of neurodiverse and autism experts across academia, government affairs, and large industry. Our network of advisors provides best-in class expertise for both investing decisions, and also for supporting the entrepreneurs we back.



NETWORK



We believe we can provide outsized support as entrepreneurs go to market. With greater influence and leverage in the space, we will provide door-opening introductions to potential customers, so that our entrepreneurs can acquire large customers early on.



EXPERIENCE



As 3x founders, we have encountered many of the challenges and questions that entrepreneurs will face. We believe the best investors let entrepreneurs operate autonomously, stepping-in to providing support when it’s needed.
