To date I’ve made, through Trifecta, investments in 100+ businesses. What follows is a selection – a small sample of the many interesting founders and ventures we’ve backed over the years.

This isn't an exhaustive list, not by a long shot. Inclusion (or exclusion) shouldn’t be seen as a definitive ranking of 'success' by any single metric:

• Saicho - an award winning sparkling tea brand, developed by two PhD food scientists in the UK
  

• Crusade - a radically new type of hedge fund coming out of Austin, Texas
  

• UpNova - gives customers a variety of incentives to shop for more
  

• Magisso - award-winning Finnish design brand, known for its cake servers featured in the Museum of Modern Art
  

• Fyn & Fia - innovated truly comfortable linings for men’s swim trunks
  

• Krua - Portuguese heirloom jewelery
  

• Under Lucky Stars - the original star map brand. Defined and popularized an entire product category.
  

• Sterling Pacific - manufactures luggage out of 5000-series aluminum and A383 aluminum
  

• Real Deal Milk - animal-free dairy with precision fermination
