Our firm operates on five core beliefs: 1. Founders build great companies, not the VCs. But we want to play a supporting role. We do that through introductions to customers, partners, potential acquirers, new potential employees and we get super active securing the next round of funding.  2. High partner-to-company ratios. Each fund is limited to 10-15 companies, which is less than many VC funds. We want to shower our companies with attention. Limiting the number of companies we invest in per fund and the number of board seats we take, helps us be the most impactful.  3. Great companies are not built overnight. It took Microsoft 8 years to get to $50 million in revenue. It took Oracle 10 years. It took Red Hat 9 years. We are patient investors looking to build long term sustainable businesses. We are not in it for the "quick flip". We invest in great companies for the duration.  4. Hustle alongside the entrepreneurs. The very best entrepreneurs have a lot of options and can get capital from anyone. So we realize it often comes down to what we can bring outside of just our check.  5. Strong alignment with the founders and investors. As a small fund, we're not getting rich on fees. We feel we are nicely aligned with the entrepreneurs. When they win, we do too.
