The Stag Hunt
Alone, each of us can catch a rabbit: a small, safe win. Together, we can bring down a stag that no one could catch alone.
Stag Hunt is a small, private group that shares early-stage startup deals. Members bring opportunities only they could find, score them together, and each decide for themselves whether to invest.
