We believe Stoicism equips founders with a unique toolbox to navigate the uncertainties and challenges of building a generational company.
Turn obstacle into opportunity.
We invest in companies who demonstrate resilience and a growth mindset. By embracing challenges and identifying opportunities within them, entrepreneurs can turn setbacks into advantages.
Focus on what you can control, accept what you can’t.
We’re drawn to founders who can adapt to unpredictability and remain the eye of the storm. Startups operate in an unpredictable environment, and by focusing on what they can control, founders can reduce unnecessary stress and zero-in on company growth.
Love everything that happens.
We back those who approach setbacks with a willingness to learn and improve. Through Stoicism, founders can emerge stronger and more resilient.
Practice misfortune.
Our firm values the inventors who take a “belt and braces” approach to venture. By imagining worst-case scenarios and practicing misfortune, founders can prepare themselves mentally and emotionally for the challenges ahead.
Act for the common welfare .
We back people looking to solve our world’s most challenging problems – a future where the rising tide lifts all boats.
