our approach
We provide entrepreneurs with a business idea, capital, resources, talent, and ongoing
support.
Idea Generation
Ideas come from our team, community, or network of entrepreneurs.
Diligence
All ideas seem great initially, but most are killed once they are put through our process. We have developed a rigorous diligence process and set of proprietary filters that help ensure we only work on the concepts worth pursuing.
Matching
Founders are the primary reason why businesses find success. Before “green lighting” an idea, we ensure we have identified the right leader to build the business. It is critical that the leaders are true founders, not employees. Hence, they are the essential part of the creation process.
Building
We take care of the easy stuff whether it be finance, IT, legal, HR, or recruiting. Our goal is to make that stuff simple and remove it as a distraction from the critical work. Founding teams leverage our experience and resources in a risk-free environment across multiple areas to make things happen.
Investing
We provide the initial capital for our businesses to get started prior to an independent fundraise. When it is time to raise a seed round or series A, we will introduce founders to our investor network and provide council throughout the journey.
