Our difference?
We invest while we build.
What sets us apart: 1. Running high-growth companies ourselves, we’re uniquely positioned to support other founders. 2. We only invest our own money. 3. We don’t compete with VCs: we make all our bets as co-investments with leading venture funds we trust and respect.
How do we do it while still being active operators? We’ve created Illusian with a dedicated team of venture, investment, and impact pros, backing startups and scale-ups from pre-seed to growth. This platform lets us focus our time where it benefits the founders most.

A community we would’ve loved when starting out. A safety net of people who have been through what a founder is going through.
If you ever need a sparring partner, a warm intro, unexpected ideas, some tough love, or just a shoulder to cry on, we’re here for you.
