Investment approach
- Thesis
- We know there are no playbooks or rulebooks or formulas. Your culture is your company. It’s not about us. Nobody runs your company like you. Listening works. Products can make markets. Pattern-matching is for non-believers. Pitch decks aren’t everything. There’s no single right way to do this, but there are some pretty wrong ones. We invest in ambition, brains, guts, people, crazy dreams, idealists, optimism, resolve, independence, reinvention, action, systems, clarity and complexity, distinction, counterpoint, art, humanness. We love ideas, the future, the edge of the frontier. Science. Truth and the search for it. Rhythms, symmetries, structures. Rhizomes and parsimony. Glory and doing good. The ups and downs and twists and turns of the decade-long journey. We ARE here to do this with you.Source (opens in a new tab)
