We Back Builders, Not Just Ideas.
We build with early-stage founders to turn ambitious ideas into enduring companies.
Dream big today, so others can dream bigger tomorrow.
Hands-On.
Founder-First.
All-In.
We’re your earliest thought partner, your toughest critic, and your loudest fan. We invest early, roll up our sleeves, and build alongside bold founders from day one.
Transforming Ideas into Impactful Ventures
We partner with technical founders from zero to one - before the traction, before the funding, before the plan is fully written. Our model combines capital, engineering, and brand firepower to accelerate the path from vision to velocity.
Capital
We invest early - pre-product and pre-proof - with conviction capital and deep technical insight.
Capability
Build faster and smarter with embedded product, engineering, and go-to-market support.
Community
Positioning that earns attention, builds trust, and unlocks strategic relationships.

UEV has been instrumental in supporting our work at Enigma. Bo and the UEV team have connected us with valuable technical resources and provided excellent CTO consulting services, significantly enhancing our overall technology strategy.
This is the first time I've had meaningful market feedback this early in the process, before we built the MVP. The UEV team didn't just help us shape the message, they took on the outreach, secured feedback meetings, and handled conversations while I stayed focused on other priorities.
PresEngage has a ton of value to offer as an Enterprise-wide presentation success platform and Clarity is paving the way for our enterprise sales-led motion.
