We unlock opportunities.
Founders from today’s high-growth companies are spinning out to start the high-growth companies of the future.
While working in complex and competitive environments, operators from companies such as Uber, Palantir, Ramp & more master the art of operational excellence. They feel the pull of product-market fit. They build powerful alumni ecosystems & talent networks to catapult them into the next phase.
We believe that partnering with top operators as they leave to pave their own way is the opportunity of our decade.
