“What drew me to Heist is the combination of a compelling category opportunity and a founder who has already demonstrated the ability to build a category-defining brand. I tend to invest where changing behaviors create opportunities to rethink established markets, and decaf and low-caf coffee fit naturally with the growing focus on sleep, wellness and healthier daily routines. Stephen Bruner helped build Corkcicle from an idea into a global brand, and I’m excited to see him bring that experience to a large category that still lacks a clear brand leader. Heist is making decaf feel like an upgrade rather than a compromise, and I’m excited to back Stephen and the team at this early stage.”

“Cooling is becoming one of the defining infrastructure challenges of our time—from buildings and hospitals to data centers and entire cities. SuperCool is tackling this problem with technology that has the potential to reduce energy consumption while supporting a more sustainable future. I was drawn to the combination of climate impact, scalable technology, and the opportunity to modernize essential infrastructure.”

“I look for companies building the infrastructure behind healthier, more resilient systems. Parcel Health stood out because it is addressing a critical but often overlooked part of healthcare: medication packaging and adherence. Better packaging isn't just about convenience—it can improve safety, reduce waste, and help patients stay on therapy. I believe the biggest opportunities often lie in fixing the invisible infrastructure that makes healthcare work better.”

“It's creating the infrastructure that helps thoughtful angels discover, evaluate, and support founders with greater conviction.”

“As both a healthcare operator and a parent, I see how much families need more flexible care solutions. I invested because Moxi combines a mission I believe in with a scalable software platform built from real operational experience.”

“I invested because I believe the founder is tackling a real infrastructure problem with multiple commercial pathways. The combination of wind, AI, and distributed energy creates meaningful long-term upside.”

“I invested in It’s Electric because I believe urban infrastructure must evolve alongside how people actually live. For millions of city residents without garages or driveways, EV adoption only works if charging becomes seamlessly integrated into the streets and neighborhoods they are in every day. What stood out to me was not only the elegance of the curbside charging model, but also the team’s practical understanding of deployment, utility coordination, and city-scale execution. This feels more like a company building foundational infrastructure for the next generation of urban living.”

“I invested because I was impressed by the founders' technical depth and their focus on solving a real industrial bottleneck. It's the type of infrastructure innovation I like to have in a diversified portfolio.”

“I invested because I look for companies building the underlying infrastructure that enables broader technology shifts. Cache AI is tackling a critical challenge behind scalable AI, and I believe those foundational layers can create significant long-term value.”

“I invested because women's health has been underserved for too long. Womaness is building a trusted brand for menopause and healthy aging at a time when awareness and demand are rapidly growing.”

“I invested because I look for companies that rethink essential infrastructure for a more sustainable future. Bold Reuse combines a strong environmental mission with a business model that can scale through operational excellence.”

“I invested because nutrition is one of the foundations of healthy aging and long-term wellness. I'm excited to support a company making healthier snacking both accessible and enjoyable.”

“I invested because I look for companies building the infrastructure behind everyday life. Vamo is tackling a real logistics problem with a solution that can expand access while creating long-term value.”

“I invested because I believe good nutrition is one of the foundations of lifelong health. I'm excited to support a company making organic, plant-based choices more accessible.”
