[Vision]
Conviction over consensus
We don’t wait for market validation. We back what’s obvious to us, long before it’s obvious to the world.
Speed is strategy
We move fast. No process theater. No wasted motion.
Operator-led capital
We’ve built real companies. We know the weight of zero-to-one. And we don’t need hand-holding to see vision.
