FOUNDERS WE BACK

 

Two-thirds of our investments will be in diverse founders and 50% will be in women. We look beyond Silicon Valley & NYC - in other U.S. cities and regions with lower profiles.

​

As a team, we leverage our multi-dimensional, diverse perspectives and pattern recognition to find overlooked and less obvious investment opportunities. 

The right founders and team matter immensely. We insist on knowing teams well - as individuals and leaders. We need the strongest evidence of integrity, hustle, leadership, humility, vision and the ability to execute.

​

 

DIVERSITY OUTPERFORMS

 

At the foundation of our investment strategy is the data driven fact that diversity outperforms.​ With that perspective, first and foremost non sibi ventures is returns driven. The fund will have a meaningful impact automatically because of this strategy and our intention. 

​

​

DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE

 

Post-funding we strive to increase value through leadership development. Our focus on leadership programming for our founders is expected to improve returns - as we invest differentially in the business acumen and the leadership capacity of our portfolio companies.
