We partner and collaborate with daring entrepreneurs to help them build the future of our world, one step at a time! Pre-seed or Seed rounds, all the way to IPO/exit.
WHAT WE DO
01 / INVEST
Seed or pre-seed is usually (but not always) when we start our partnership with you.
We then aim to guide and assist you along the way and in every round after that, all the way to IPO, exit or expansion.
We'll be there as much as you need us and are happy to take a hike, when you don't.
02 / SERVE
Legal! Accounting! Marketing! Structuring! Strategy! Monetisation!
The expensive stuff!
We don’t just do 'sexy' money stuff, but also the boring and important.
We offer a full suite of services, both in-house and through our external partners,
all at a fraction of market cost. All that we have, we make accessible to you - Mi Casa Su Casa (is that even relevant here!)
03 / NETWORK
We are network-driven and think you should be too.
We believe in the power of relationships as that's when great things happen.
With that philosophy at the heart of 1981, we create opportunities to meet influencers (not the Insta-type!) in your field and expand your network whilst along the way, we all make new friends.
WHY US
OUR STORY
Our journey started when we built an app that no one ended up using - great way to spend your savings in your early twenties.
Then one of us became a lawyer, the other one a banker (the good type) and the last one an engineer.
We all did well individually, started and sold a few cool gigs, but ultimately realised the power of collaboration was the key to success and decided to combine forces once again to help others build innovative products and services and for us to use our experience and expertise to help them along the process.
Oh and also we got married and our partners refused to let us spend money building random apps and stuff!
OUR VISION
Break the barriers to entry for founders.
Don't let money (or lack of it) stop people making the world great.
Back exceptional people and help them do exceptional things.
Bring the power of networks and philanthropy together.
Remind people that there is more to a business than just the bottom-line.
Become true friends with our clients.
Keep the wolves at bay! Not literally. We can't help you with actual wolves. More like the Wolf of Wall Street type wolves.
WHAT'S WITH THE NAME
Nope, not the year of birth of any of the founders!
We are proud advocates of social, corporate responsibility. Our commitment to do ‘good’ is reflected not only in our philosophy but also our name.
We aim to contribute at least 19% of our annual profits to social and/or charitable causes.
No expectation that our clients will do the same, but we'll like you more if you did!
Oh, and when you add 19 to 81, you get a whole 100 - #nerd.
It's pretty simple for us - profit and philanthropy must operate side by side, in order to make our society whole.
