Protagonist invests in pre-revenue or early-revenue businesses where story can play a supersized role in growth. We’re looking for consumer or B2B SaaS startups—as this is where we have the most experience and value to add—but we’re not dogmatic about it. We don’t typically invest in crypto, deep tech, or life sciences / med tech.
