Our Commandments
Engagement
We will engage with passion and excitement for those companies we support.
Value
We will look for near-term/tactical/immediate ways to add value for those companies we get passionate for.
Empathy
We will embrace and cherish entrepreneurs because we’ve all walked in their shoes, built things that went well and went not-so-well, have struggled through the same things they are struggling through; that empathy allows us to engage as “comfort food”, being honest but creating optimism in that honesty.
Excitement
We will get excited about your technology/innovation, immediately thinking of ways to leverage, introduce, explore or expand.
Humility
We will humbly invite others into our excitement, not “protecting” or “preserving” things for ourselves but instead opening up our world to others to share in or build from the excitement we feel.
