We invest in founders who stand tall.
At 5′7″.
Why 5′7″?
Some of the most iconic companies of our time were founded by visionaries who stood exactly 5′7″ tall.
Coincidence? We don't think so.

Our Thesis
Height data correlates with vision clarity, company scaling, and capital efficiency. At 5′7″, founders combine agility with stature, humility with power, compactness with conviction.

Height Diligence™
All founders undergo Height Diligence™: a proprietary process involving a calibrated stadiometer, two witnesses, and notarization. We measure twice, invest once.
Stage & Sector
Stage-fluid, geography-agnostic, height-maximalist. Pre-seed to IPO, as long as the founder clears our tape measure, we're in.
