How We Operate

Our Business

We respect the intense struggle of the entrepreneurial process and we know that without the entrepreneurs we have no business.

Respect Entrepreneurs
🤝
Respect Entrepreneurs

We always show up on time and always get back to entrepreneurs timely and with substantive feedback, even if it's bad news like a rejection. We have an optimistic view of the future and believe entrepreneurs, whether they succeed or fail, are working to help us achieve a better future.

Our Word Is Our Bond
🔒
Our Word Is Our Bond

When we make a commitment to a partner, an entrepreneur, a limited partner, or someone in our network, we keep it. Although we have legal agreements, the people who do business with us do not need them — because what we say is what we do. We do not haphazardly commit the firm.

We Tell the Truth
💬
We Tell the Truth

When talking to an entrepreneur, an LP, a partner, or each other, we strive to tell the truth. We are open and honest. We do not withhold material information or tell half-truths. Even if the truth will be difficult to hear, we are on the side of truth in the face of difficult consequences.

First-Class Business Only
First-Class Business Only

We do only first-class business and only in a first-class way. We never publicly criticize any entrepreneur or startup — doing so is a fireable offense. Our obligation is to the company and its future, and we hold ourselves to that standard in every interaction.
