We are privileged to invest on behalf of institutional investors, most with charitable, educational, or non-profit missions. Serving entrepreneurs is a calling for us, and we look to partner with companies with an equally strong sense of purpose.
We are known for our uncommonly patient approach to building companies. We look for opportunities to deepen our relationships with high-performing companies, and can make significant capital commitments more than a decade after our initial investment.
The world’s most iconic companies have been built and run by founders. We prefer to partner with management with an ownership mentality leaders with a vision for the future, creating value for all stakeholders, with an eye on the bottom line.
We make initial investments in early-stage companies tackling emerging consumer and enterprise opportunities. We look to partner with management to build world-class businesses based on strong operating fundamentals and attractive unit economics.

Smaller hits no longer move the needle. Investors chase hot deals while small or "low-beta" opportunities are overlooked. Billions are invested in companies targeting big, fast-growing markets, and great people are recruited into those companies hoping to create "the next big thing." Companies get over-funded, and feeling pressures to grow quickly, they ramp-up to high burn-rates and experience high rates of failures, which are acceptable as long as enough winners materialize. The sobering reality is that most venture-backed companies are sold for less than $50 million, if they don't go out of business. The typical deal will lose money.
The pressures to put money to work are increasing. Entrepreneurs who hit Sand Hill Road looking to raise a few million dollars, end up walking away wondering if they should raise more. We've experienced this phenomenon first hand. We've helped raise billions of dollars for our portfolio companies. We typically have more difficulty finding co-investors who are willing to invest a few million dollars than finding co-investors who prefer to invest tens to hundreds of millions of dollars in a single round.
Compounding the problem, there is an increasing sense of urgency to hit bigger and bigger home-runs. Venture capital is a hits-driven business. Take away a few homeruns and returns look mediocre at best.
