The creative minds. The bold. The resilient. The consistent. The outliers. The fearless. The secure. The realists. The masters. The independent thinkers. The warriors and the true believers.

 

These are the rare founders with whom we partner.

 

We partner early, sometimes when a company is no more than an idea, or later, when the company needs a scale-up. We know these crucial first decisions can have an exponential influence on the curve of success.

 

Our style is not for everyone. We push when we see potential. We are direct.

 

Our team mirrors the founders with whom we partner: hungry overachievers with a deep-rooted need to win. Each shares the mindset of an entrepreneur, and knows what it means to walk that path.

 

We value teamwork over showmanship. Our contribution to a company always comes from several of us working together.

 

Our team is small. We prefer a few people with diverse strengths focused on a small number of companies, and we are always mindful of lessons learned, some painfully, that are timeless truths of human nature and error. Our network is strong.

 

And while we’re sometimes called investors, that is not our frame of mind. We consider ourselves partners for the long term.

 

We help the bold build great companies.
