Our Thesis
#1 Invest at the edges of society
We have experienced that the best way to solve problems is to invest in those at the edges of society, to find the outliers who will bring about radical change.
#2 Align true self and impact cause
Finding founders & fund managers who are pursuing their passion yields remarkable results.
#3 Offer patient capital
Giant problems require long-term solutions, which take time to come to fruition.
#4 Develop conscious leaders
The future will be built by conscious leaders. We work with self-aware capitalists who align with ethics and compassion.
#5 Give funds every support
We are a launchpad for funds & startups. Our creative & ops team provide assistance with brand, marketing, social content to supercharge each project.
