We are a mission-driven VC, led by former builders-founders, with an aim of supporting new builder-founders. We love academic ecosystems. We strive to fulfill our mission. We started as an idea at the Carnegie Mellon University and Stanford University, and now expanding all over the US and beyond.

Nature is our inspiration. How a caterpillar forms a "Pupa" and slowly turns into a Butterfly, a process known as "Metamorphosis" is the core of our philosophy in supporting early stage founders.
