Frequently asked questions
What is Tahoma's known posture on co-investments?
Tahoma actively co-invests alongside other seed-stage funds and prominent angel groups. Its participation in rounds like Thoropass's 2023 seed financing — alongside Campbell Rink and Kraft Group — demonstrates comfort with syndicated deals where it does not lead the round. The firm also uses SPVs for follow-on investments, allowing its LPs to increase exposure to breakout companies without requiring a new fund vehicle.
What sectors does Tahoma explicitly avoid?
Tahoma has no publicly stated sector exclusions, but its disclosed portfolio and investment language reveal a consistent avoidance of consumer social, e-commerce marketplaces, and capital-intensive hardware businesses that require manufacturing scale. The firm's focus remains tightly constrained to enterprise software, data infrastructure, applied AI, climate-tech SaaS, and digital health platforms — all sectors where the capital efficiency and technical risk profile match its fund economics.
