Addition
Growth-stage fund led by Lee Fixel investing in technology companies approaching category leadership.
Addition is basically Lee Fixel's post-Tiger show, and he brought the same hyper-aggressive growth playbook that made Tiger famous. They move fast, write big checks, and have genuine conviction when they bite. The upside: they're not afraid to lead rounds and can be incredibly supportive during hypergrowth phases with real operational experience. The downside: they're fairly concentrated so if you're not in their wheelhouse of proven consumer/fintech growth stories, you're probably not on their radar. Fixel has a reputation for being pretty direct in board meetings, which some founders love and others find overwhelming. They're not relationship investors in the traditional sense - they're betting on your trajectory and will push hard to accelerate it.
