We go first so others can follow
Big change starts with bold visionaries
Exceptional founders — the ones willing to take risks, chase ambitious ideas, and challenge the status quo — are the key to real progress.
Humanity doesn't need more tweaks
In business, we accept that risk is the price of big returns, and we are backing visionary dreamers with funding, support, etc. In impact, it's often the opposite — bold ideas get passed over because they seem "too risky." We're comfortable with the kind of risk it takes to build something transformational. We believe the biggest leaps forward come from backing ambitious bets, not playing it safe.
Someone needs to be the greater fool
Even when the vision is clear and the path looks good, it's really hard to get the first person to write a check. Someone needs to take the risk — and risk being the "greater fool." We're happy to play that role: to back founders early, when everything is still fragile, messy, and unproven.
Bold doesn’t mean reckless
We carry the responsibility of deploying capital into complex, often broken systems. With humility and rigor, we examine not only the intended impact of our work — but also its unintended consequences. We seek to avoid deepening inequities or solving one problem by creating another.
100X impact return delivered by 1% of talent
We look for the 1% of talent — the rare founders with deep insight, bold vision, and the drive to reimagine what’s possible. They see things others don’t, and they’re willing to take the kind of risks that can shift entire systems. We think in impact multipliers: one bold idea, many ripple effects. We look for catalytic ventures that others can learn from, build on, and scale — the kind of work that makes outsized impact possible. We are ok with any type of organization: for profit, non for profit, and anything in between.
We give what is needed, in different forms
We know every venture is different — and so are the tools it needs to succeed. That's why we stay flexible, deploying blended capital and working across issue areas, unconstrained by a single sector or model. Our role is to give each founder what they need most: early capital, honest feedback, and access to the networks that can help turn their idea into something transformational. We tailor our support to what’s needed to unlock each venture’s full potential.
This is hard, we will not make it harder
Our approach is fast, flexible, and founder-focused. We move quickly, and we won’t waste your time before or after we start working with you. We believe that quick and honest feedback is the basic standard to expect of a true partner — and you can rely on us to meet that standard.
