Our Investments:

We look at the world with a little yin and a little yang.  Dae is the 25+ year telecom veteran and enterpreneur who has been investing in traditional stocks, commercial real estate, and most recently, cryptoassets.  Arry is the 20+ year veteran as a strategic operator - both as a startup entrepreneur and as a change agent working within and for companies like Microsoft, Google, and Expedia.  

​Together, we make investments in companies with: 

1. a kickass team
2. a vision we believe in
3. a product we think needs to exist in the world

This is our way of paying it forward to our fellow entrepreneurs and community who have given us so much.  And it is a way of "making a dent" into creating a bright future for our children.  We've divested or gracefully exited out of a few of our previous investments when it was time.  We still have fond memories of them - even still send referrals to and recommendations for them regularly to this day.  

The logos you see below are our most recent proud investments.  These are where we are currently active and enthusiastic promoters :)

Startup Haven Fund

Ikigai Fund

Startup Haven Fund I is a $10M pre-seed fund to invest in US-based, capital-efficient startups with disciplined founders and cogent growth plans.  We spent 14 years building the Startup Haven ecosystem, including a network of more than 2,000 vetted founders and investors and a robust platform of support programs. This ecosystem puts us in a truly unique position to find, fund and support a portfolio of amazing startups. Simply put, our unfair advantage is the access our network and programs provide.

Crypto assets are an emerging asset class.  Crypto asset investing requires the application of public market investment techniques plus access to and understanding of venture-stage tech investing. This dynamic landscape demands active portfolio management and flexible investment strategies. Consistent alpha production from crypto asset investing requires dynamic tools to execute specific processes inside a well-defined investment framework.

Give inKind (Exited 2022)

Give InKind was started with a notebook, a sea of flowers, and two grieving parents. After experiencing the unexpected stillbirth of their first child, Founder Laura Malcolm and her husband saw how much work was created for their friends and families from around the country. There were questions about where to order delivery meals from, what to send, whether or not they were up for visitors...  Laura knew there had to be a simpler way. In Layla’s honor, Give InKind was born.
