We develop our own ideas internally and take them to market
We partner with talented entrepreneurs that have a working product, and develop the business together
We make synergistic investments that will support our existing companies
Taking a company from first launch to the point where you have a scalable business model is hard. We focus on taking our companies through the different stages as efficiently as possible
Startups can be difficult and lonely experiences. We place great importance in building a community around our companies that provides support, inspiration and a platform for growth
Starting a company can be a chaotic experience. We centralize HR, Legal and Accounting to allow our teams to focus on building their core business
We fund our companies to the point where they have discovered and validated a repeatable, scalable business model. At which point we often seek to bring in new capital partners to accelerate our growth.
