BORN ON THE WAVES.
BUILT TO BACK WHAT'S NEXT.

OUR VISION

We imagine a world where student founders don’t have to wait.
Not for capital. Not for credentials. Not for permission.

Our vision is to create a future where the boldest ideas on campus get the backing they deserve from day one. Where students are seen as builders, not just learners. Where ambition is met with belief, support, and momentum.

We are here to shift the narrative. To fund earlier, to believe harder, and to show that the next generation of founders is already here and already building.

WHAT SETS US APART

We don’t just invest. We get in it with you.

We are not here to talk in circles or wait for your idea to be investor-ready. We back student founders early and stay close as you build. We keep it simple. No gatekeeping. No ego. Just real belief and real support. We are students ourselves. We know what it’s like to start small, to get overlooked, to figure things out as you go. That is why we back bold moves before they are proven. And why we show up long after the pitch is over.

WHAT WE OFFER

We offer capital, mentorship, community, and real go-to-market support for student founders ready to build. Whether you’re sketching your first idea or already gaining traction, we meet you where you are and help you move faster. We provide up to $50,000 in funding with simple, transparent terms that align us with your success.

WHO ARE WE?

Founders backing founders.

We know what it’s like to chase an idea no one else sees yet.
We’ve been there. In the dorms. On the water. In the middle of class.
This is the team that shows up with the same energy, belief, and momentum we needed when we were just getting started.
