Validation – We put an idea through its paces, testing customer demand, technical feasibility, business model, unit economics, market dynamics, investor interest, and more. We benchmark every idea against the performance of our past ideas to determine if it’s worth our time—and yours. With our expertise in financial modeling, we get into the minds of founders and their business models to ensure the perfect fit between company and market.

Scale – Focus is the lifeblood of an early-stage company. Our recruiting, legal, and finance teams, along with our relationships with top service providers, allow founders to keep their eyes squarely on building the business.

Moral Compass

“Look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don’t have the first, the other two will kill you.” – Warren Buffett

Courage of your Convictions
