Investing in Human Capital

Our Philosophy

We believe that human capital can be the decisive factor in the success of young, emerging companies. Our philosophy was built on the idea of investing both financial capital and human capital at the critical point of rapid growth. Our human capital comes from the collective experience of our six partners and is offered to our portfolio companies at no cost to the owners. We seek passionate and grounded entrepreneurs with a clear vision and destination in mind. We believe good leaders make a difference in the outcome of an investment. Everything we do reflects the character and ethics of our partners.

Areas of Interest

Our portfolio is focused on early stage and emerging growth companies that are in various areas of innovation. We do not specialize in a single market vertical, but instead look for entrepreneurs with a proven product that is post-revenue, on the verge of rapid growth, and possesses a defensible competitive advantage. We specifically seek opportunities where our human capital can add significant value. Our portfolio reflects our personal mission to leave the world in a better place than we found it.
