01 — The Problem

Most funds write checks
and hope.

We write checks and build.

A founder builds something people want. They raise a seed round. They have product-market fit. And then — nothing happens.

No GTM engine. No sales process. No financial controls. No operational cadence. They have a product but not a company. They burn 18 months and half their runway trying to figure out how to scale. By the time they hire a CRO or COO, the window has closed.

This gap kills more companies than bad product ever will. We close it.
02 — The Model

Every company we back
gets two things.

Capital.
Seed to pre-Series A checks into companies with real PMF and early revenue.
Us.
Two operators — embedded inside, building GTM, installing ops, creating financial architecture until the foundation holds.
This isn't advisory. This isn't office hours. This isn't a board seat.
We sit in the room. We build the dashboards. We close the gaps.
We are the operational advantage your capital buys.
Traditional Fund
Writes check. Takes board seat. Waits. Hopes the founder figures it out.
Platform Fund
Writes check. Offers playbooks nobody reads. Support available but not embedded.
TEMPER
Writes check. Embeds immediately. Builds GTM, installs ops, creates financial architecture. Stays until you raise or exit from strength.

04 — PropTech

We've been
the exit.

We didn't study PropTech. We built in it, scaled in it, and sold in it.

We built Gadu — a proptech workflow platform — to $132M ARR and sold it to CBRE for 4× investor returns. We know what an acquirer looks at because we've been on the other side of that table. Every PropTech company we back gets built to be acquirable from day one.

Workflow Automation
Replacing manual property management processes with software that compounds in value
Data Infrastructure
Valuations, underwriting, compliance tools with defensible data moats
PropTech AI
AI with real distribution into existing real estate networks — not another chatbot
05 — HealthTech

Regulated.
Sticky.
Compounding.

MedTech · PharmaTech · Behavioral Health · Provider Platforms · Payer Infrastructure

These are markets with high switching costs, complex sales cycles, and long retention — the kind of revenue that compounds. Regulatory complexity isn't a barrier. It's the moat. We've sold into Kaiser Permanente, built clinical workflow products, and understand the compliance architecture that makes or breaks healthtech companies.

06 — Vertical AI

AI that solves,
not searches.

This isn't a bet on AI. It's a bet on distribution.

Every generalist fund is chasing AI. We're not. We're backing AI that plugs into industries where we already know the buyer, the workflow, and the integration pain.

Clinical Workflow AI
Documentation, scheduling, prior auth — AI that automates the most expensive manual processes in healthcare
PropTech AI
Underwriting, valuations, compliance — AI with a defined buyer from day one and a moat built on proprietary data
Pharma R&D AI
Drug discovery acceleration, trial optimization — AI where we understand the buyer and the regulatory path
"Distribution wins every time. The moat isn't the model — it's the relationship with the buyer."
07 — Our Edge

Founders who've exited
send us their next bets.

Our deal flow doesn't come from demo days.

Exited founders trust us as operators — and bring us their own portfolio companies before those companies ever raise. They've been through the exit. They know what operational support actually looks like. And they choose us to be inside their investments.

01
Exited Founder Network
Post-exit founders bring pre-seed portcos to us for operational help before they raise anywhere
02
Enterprise Operator Network
15+ years of contacts at Boeing, Kaiser, Amazon Studios, SLB — turning into founders and bringing us in early
03
Strategic Buyer Relationships
PropTech and HealthTech acquirers who show us the gaps in their own portfolios before those become deals
08 — The Partners

Two operators who've
built, scaled, and exited.

Not career investors learning on your capital.

Dipak Patel
General Partner · Revenue + GTM + Sales Ops
Two-time founder. Built Gadu to $132M ARR — bootstrapped the first $30M, raised only $5M, sold to CBRE for 4× investor returns. Scaled NAO through seven consecutive quarters above plan before acquisition by Yandex. Enterprise clients: Kaiser Permanente, Amazon Studios, SLB, Boeing. Background in biochemical engineering — fluent with technical founders and enterprise buyers.
Builds the revenue machine — GTM, pipeline architecture, sales process, deal velocity.
Dev Motiram
General Partner · COO + Strategy & Operations
Operational architect. Grew up in hospitality and real estate operations — where performance was measured daily. Early employee at Solugen, helping scale from ~$30M to $2.2B valuation during hyper-growth. Operates across the COO and CSO lane — execution cadence, capital formation, and strategic partnerships across technology, infrastructure, and real-asset businesses.
Builds the operational foundation — the stage between PMF and durable, repeatable scale.
09 — Let's Talk

Building something
unbreakable?

Your capital doesn't sit in a company waiting for a founder to figure it out.

It sits in a company where two operators who've already done it are inside the machine.
