Andy Feinberg
Co-Founder & Managing Partner
I have spent three decades rolling up my sleeves building great teams and companies. I have helped lead entrepreneurial journeys from initial idea to international public company and beyond. I love working closely with passionate entrepreneurs who are on a mission to create value and who recognize the importance of building exceptional teams.
Bob Mason
Co-Founder and Managing Partner
I have been investing since 2011, building a broad founder and investor network. In a "former life," I was a software engineer, founder and CTO. My training as an engineer allows me to link technical insight to business opportunity.

My first call with Bob and Andy was just a raw idea and pre-deck. From that very first meeting they provided key introductions. As I was refining my ideas they continued to provide actionable feedback. I was thrilled to partner with them as an anchor investor in our first round.

Bob and Andy came highly recommended through the Techstars network. Having worked with them over the past few months has been amazing, they are true value add investors in helping navigate difficult business decisions through their deep experience as operators. Oversubscribing our round to have Argon as part of the team was a very easy decision.

We’re excited to work alongside you
We’re at the beginning of an exciting new cycle of business-led innovation. We seek to work with startup founders that start by solving an immediate, tangible business problem. We prefer vertical market orientation with an opportunity for early global expansion.
We lead pre-seed rounds and work with founders well before they are ready to raise capital, so it's never too early to build a relationship with us.
We invest in startups that weave together industry insight with technology innovation.
