We back exceptional founders and help them move their companies forward. Everything we do is in service of that. Period.
We constantly seek out new information to use in our work. We explore, we experiment, and we “yes, and” each other.
We work to win the decade, not the moment. We’d prefer to create more wealth for more winners tomorrow than win a limited short-term game today.
We do our best work when we each bring our full selves to the party. Because belonging is a competitive advantage.
We can be counted on to show up, do great work, and follow through. We only open loops we’re impatient to close. Done matters.
We’d rather innovate than imitate. We bet on ourselves to win as ourselves, charting our own course instead of following the crowd.
